seems to be slowly crawling. I have quite a few but they seem to move slowly because they’ve each moved about an inch since yesterday..
 
i hope someone can ID them for you but i would remove them and keep an eye on my corals for next few days.
do you have any worm eating wrasses?

My corals look fine for now... I’ve been wanting a melanurus for quite some time now so I’ll probably get one tomorrow.
