search is busy, but i found some pics elsewhere, and i think it may be a copepod. Are they harmful? Also, supposing it wasnt a copepod, are there any evil coral bugs which matched by description-like to expect the worst?

i do know of any evil doing bugs that are clear, all though im sure there may be a few out there. copepods are good for your tank and are good food for your fish, and a sign your tank is doing well

There is a white nudibranch that I once had that might be what you have. They had two little antennae and grew to about a half an inch. They decimated some of my polyps and they multiply like crazy. Get them out now! That is, if you want your polyps.
