2 new bug like / tentacle found in tank. Please help identify.

[FHG]

Hi all,

Very new to the salt water hobby and have no idea what these things are. Both have been found today (at night if that helps).

One is a little bug and there seems to be a few of them. Large enough to see comfortably, roughly 1cm.

One looks to be a worm/ tentacle with legs potentially.

I currently have no fish in the tank and haven’t for 1 month due to learning about ich.

Thanks in advance!!

Brilliant, thanks! No problem with corals/anemone?

No worries with those two. You in Australia? Visiting for the first time this coming Christmas and can’t wait!
