Good Guys or Bad?

Found a bunch of these on my glass today. Not sure what they are hopefully pods. Thanks for any help.

Pretty sure that's a small bristleworm there.

Yes, those are copepods and a small worm of some sort. Good to have.

That's kinda crazy for me, I dosed in like 10k or so pods but I assumed they all died due to my 120 watt UV. Guess some made it.

Im gonna go with Immunid Isopods and it's cuz I learnt it here https://www.reef2reef.com/threads/help-isopods-in-tank.184702/
They're good algae eaters from what I've researched as I have a ton of em in my system right now

Thanks!
Looks like munnid isopods and a dorvilleidae worm. Both are harmless grazers/detritivores and are on the rarer side when it comes to hitchhikers (much rarer than copepods and bristleworms respectively), though I have had them both in my systems.

What is that!! A R2R guide to common new tank hitchhikers.

One of the greatest things about starting a reef tank is getting your live rock in and admiring all the diversity within it. The rock comes to life different creatures. This is a guide that I, along with a very well known critter identifier @KJ , have put together for the new reefer on what...

Definitely seems like isopods and not sure about the worm.

The worm in my original linked video looks a little larger than most. These worms, at least in my system, are only about 2 cm long and under a millimeter wide.
