Picked up some coral last night and while dipping I noticed these on a plug holing Pavona(potato chip). All my other corals came from the same tank,however, just the Pavona plug had these on it. I dipped in revive and around the 10-15 min mark all the unknown pest succumbed to the dip. I've never seen anything like this. I'm leaning towards a pod of some kind. I inspected all corals and plugs and didn't see any eggs either.

Should note the critters moved quick and kinda just glider never saw the body move.

If they have legs underneath, they're a beneficial isopod, possibly Cassidinidea ovalis; if they don't have legs, they're a harmful flatworm.
