Need an ID on this guy.

I don't believe it is a good guy. He was sitting on one of my zoas.

Tiny lobster looking thing. I thought it was a baby pod but upon inspecting I see that it's long and skinny and has pincers on the two front legs like a lobster or crawfish. They are literally the size of a pin head. Safe to put back in or take them out?

That's closer but they have no hump. Just long and slender like the mantis. I thought it was baby bristles until I pulled out my macro. I'm stumped.

This is the one I was referring to its punchers turn in the same way and about the same body shape. I did a Google search and it brought up this and a pic of a normal looking shrimp. Just wanna make sure you seen this one.

Hello!
Today, while looking in my tank i saw this green piece of what seems to be some coral. It shares a rock with gsp that i've had for over 6 months and i've never seen this other green thing. It seems to have polyps. Some days ago i figured it was a piece od dead gsp skin or something.
It does have a pretty nice glow. I can clearly see where it's skin meets with the gsp, so if its something cool i am concidering peeling some gsp off around it, to give it a chance to grow out. Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!

Sps of some sort. Remnant of Montipora or Acropora possibly.
