Tiny little critters on my coral

[myersb33]

So I noticed some closed up polyps over the last few nights and I saw these little spots that thought could be sand from me stirring to clean the glass but upon inspection we’re moving. Not sure what they are if they’re bad or how to remove them any help is much appreciated

First thing to do would be say what coral it is and also a zoomed in picture would help.

Some pests are more common on certain corals and obvbiously a picture would help id them or at least try to .

What colour are they ?
Are they pods ?
Ampripods
Munnid isopods
Copepods
Octopods ( not sure on spelling of this one sorry )
Spiders
Flatworms
Lots little critters could guess at

Can you post a pic? Under white light if possible. That will help to identify them. It sounds like pods but it could be a few things based on your description. Have you added pods or anything to the tank?

Do they look like these ?
If so there the pod above I couldn't spell and I started a thread on them but couldn't get a definitive answer.just maybe some kind isopod/ octopod but could be way off as picture not clear to actually 100% see shape of them

Yeah that could be the one I'm thinking on.
And in op picture above does sort look that shape if zoom in but goes little blurry

Are you able to take a pic zoomed in? It's hard to see what these are. They definitely look like pods but it's hard to determine if they're good or bad. They could be what was mentioned.... Ostracods.
