I just finished my war with the red planaria, and now this…

I saw baby cardinal fish in my overflow and saved them, grabbed macroalgae from the sump for them to hide in, and saw these little spiders all over… There is a healthy pod population in both my tank and the sump.

I swear I’ve seen these before in my tank but I lost it and never saw it again. no lps or sps deaths. zoas, acans. polyp coral are all healthy
 
does this work?
