Those are amphipods - they are harmless, and even beneficial scavengers/detritivores/algae eaters. There are hundreds of them in most tanks.
I’d be looking at a param issue for what killed your corals.
 
Thanks for the replies I will have to see what else it may be all my other corals are doing great
