These fellas jumped out of my zoas when I performed the Lugol's solution dip as well. I hope they are not the cause for them to close and melt... Are these copepods? Anyone able to confirm?

These photos are taken under 1x to 3x microscope. You can see the bug-like eyes...

I've seen quite a lot of them lately... if the fishes love them, they should be well "taken care of"? I'm afraid too much might lead to them irritating the zoas.

most of them are noctunal and can be seen moving abt at nite... during the day, they are mostly hidden under corals and unless u disturb their hiding places, chances are, the fishes cant locate them...

Bro Vtec, imo I think they like but some might be too big for their tiny mouth. Think another diet would be the spaghetti worm that would feed their mouth better.
Seem mine feeding on 1 before. Just like a bird feeding on earthworms.
