Shrimp- like thing. Very bendy like a worm. Has pincers and seems to have many more legs than usual shrimp. Amphipod included in the shots for size/anatomy comparison. Is starfish an asterina? Haven't put either in tank.

Mainly worried about what seems to be flatworms.. most of them were on goni frag plugs. What's the species and should I get medication to treat whole tank as a preventative? Tank has acans, micromussas, several gonis, an alveopora and a lepto in case this species happens to be host-specific parasite.. or not.

Dipped with Coral Rx. Then did a distilled water dip for maybe 10 mins afterwards to "make double sure?"- read mention of this method somewhere else on forum.
