Pest ID please

Can anyone tell me if these little tube animals are good or bad. They move fairly fast

Hard to see, but they might be munnid isopods. In which case, good! Look them up, and see if what you find matches what you're seeing in your tank.

They're a tiny member of your cleanup crew, and a tasty snack for all sorts of fish - including mandarins.

Thanks bruce.

Those ... may or may not be munnids. Do they move like insects, worms or snails?

@Lionfish Lair may be able to help - she's amazing with these things!

Not sure where to start new threads yet but saw this one to identify pest and that's what I'm trying to figure out. If you look in the middle of the picture there's a white creature with pointy tail crawling on my gsp and seems to have little white legs If you look close at the picture. I'm petrified it's something bad hopefully not a white nudibranch. Please someone help me identify this guy.(he's on the top center area of the gsp and moves slow)
