I was able to get a pic of what I thought looked like a pill bug!

Certainly got the shape of a chiton and cant see the apendages at front and back for some isopods but I don't know enough about chitons to know if they come translucent like yours looms like ?
So will difer to the more experienced guys and drop out ^_^

In here says only have visible eyes as larvae and after larvae stage they have light sensitive cells in each of their 8 armour plates .

Not saying you wrong as I already dropped out but them 2 eye looking dots at front aren't eyes you think @Erin1971Texas ?

Thanks .
Yeah just found the thread I started few months ago where you and couple others recommended interceptor and that Dr g's stuff

I get more on the green slimer at night but they got no fear and alot them out through the day nibbling on the polyps lol as my wrasse and cbb cruising around looming for snacks which they do pay attention to occasionally but not as much as I would like tbh.
Maybe I feed them to well
As they multiply, they are busy in search of food

Probably not. Chitons have many shell patterns, example below.

Not 100% sold on chiton — I see what look like two little black eye spots. Kinda looks like it has a skirt like a chiton, but the pic is blurry and I still think it could be some sort of isopod like the attached.

Yeah was thinking same as the part of body at bottom looks like mouth area and looks like 2 eyes at front but see possibly couple sets of false eyes slightly lighter colour going back but dont see the tell tale signs that every isopod is like the multiply jaws and such but it does look raised off his arm like it would have legs but picture really good to get that zoomed in but can't see important parts unfortunately.
Does look like chiton though lol

Last one, for tonight! I have been trying to pull these red stringy parts from the frag in the center, but they retract and seem to be multiplying. The frag was dipped in revive but just saw this new critter off of the center mass. any thought appreciated. red spaghetti worm?

Could be, but only if it has visible legs. The Sphaeromatidae is very closely related to chitons. And I don't think what look like eyes are actually eyes.

That is a hair worm (cirratulid polychaete), commonly
but inaccurately called a spaghetti worm). Another good guy.
