Well friend this is what I culled. Hope it is of some help. The corals should be closely monitored for the entirety of the treatment and removed immediately if signs of zooxanthellae expulsion or polyp bailout begin to occur. Xenia, anthelia, pachyclavularia have been known to not tolerate it at all.

Is that with the animal on it's back? Looks like a chiton or peanut snail of some sort.
Is it slow snail moving or a quick crawler?
You really need to work on those camera skills.

It does kinda look like a sand skater, I'll have to try and get another one and have a closer look and maybe a better picture. I'm pretty sure it's not the really bad isopod, It moves slow.

Good Idea I'll give it a try. I think I need to go back and figure out how to take close ups, since I just do it the lazy way and keep the setting on auto.
