I see copepod, fluke and possible turibella worm. Freshwater dip should address the flukes and any worms.

And this is the brown stuff on my sand... Idk what it is, was thinking diatoms but not sure.

I am sorry can you circle where the fluke is, I'm assuming it's the big thing but...I read a post and used Google lens and I'm just not seeing it. Maybe the species of the fluke would be helpful to me.
big one yes
