Feather Caulerpa:
     In this picture and the next, on the upper side of the main stem, 2 strands from the tip, you can spot a transparent organism on the outer side of a 'leaf'/branch. It was motoring around in and out of the parts of this sample, seemed to be hanging out 'against' the plant.

The Polychaete worm I mentioned earlier. It was about 1/4 inch long when fully extended.
     What i thought was a bristle worm (looks the same (as one of the same size) to the naked eye). It does not compare to a bristle worm under the scope.    Grape Caulerpa up close and personal:    Some sort of Isopod: (Appear to reach full size at about 3/16th of an inch)

I think your second bristle worm is still a polychaete...the segments aren't as well defined as the first one, they're a bit more squished together...but you can see the podia (the little bristle feet) on it still...
And your copepod was probably getting hot...it gets pretty hot under the lights. Great work though  Keep the pics coming!
