Can somebody tell me if these black bugs are just regular copepods or if they are a coral pest? Also can somebody tell me what the coral is in the 1st picture(the one that kind of looks like aiptasia?

1st pic might be a species of palythoa; I can't see what you are referencing in second pic - can you circle the animal you're concerned about?

Here are the bugs circled. Both pictures have the same critters in them.

Can somebody identify the green coral that looks like montipora? I thought it was montipora of some sort but now I’m not really sure. I really don’t know much.
It acts a lot like an LPS, it puffs up like in this picture sometimes, other times it will be really deflated.
