The extra metal in the water wont hurt corals or inverts? Or does it release so slowly it doesn’t matter?

You can test wether a magnet will work with one of the other screws that are similar.
Some screws will not be attracted to the magnet.

Stainless steel is non magnetic.
If you do an ICP test you will see maybe weird levels of stuff like vanadium or tin that is in the steel.
One of my crabs pushed a large washer out of the rock work I had dropped in months earlier.
