Nope, it's not zoa pox or spiders either. I also looked into those when I was trying to figure out what these are. It's very possible that they are a baby or larvae stage of a bigger pest, I just don't know which one....

In any case they have to go. Will interceptor kill everything bug/pest/pod related in the tank? I'm willing to do that route. I don't want these things to get out of hand and as it stands right now they are ruining a $100 frag. Most expensive one I own of course :roll eyes:.

ETA: They are as small as a zoa nudibranch, but they are more streamlined, no body spines or whatever those growths on their backs are.

They kind of look like a little torpedo with a ribboned tail and are very red in colour. They look identical to the picture the author created in my first post.

Looks to me like baby nudi's.

I haven't yet seen an adult nudi in the tank (fortunately), and boy, I've been looking!
Could these possibly be the larvae form of the amphipod?

Turns out they are a type of flatworm:

You can see it at 0:39 in this video:

They aren't supposed to eat corals but I just got lucky.
