Hi, I just got this coral to try an revive it. I’m trying to get an idea as to whether these bugs are good or bad? Also, what are they? Found a sea star attached to it too.

These are copepods and a food source for fish and coral

What?
The ones walking on the frag are amphipods or could also be munnid isopods but kinda shaky video. Way to big to be copepods.
Its possible as Im on a phone screen but Pods regardless and amphi before i'd go with munids
