Little "flies" on my montipora frag

[the_rider]

Hi,

A friend of mine gave me 3 frag of montipora so I begin to pack my tank. One don't do too well, probably due to transportation, but I have a close look to it and I saw something moving on it.

It's around 1/8 inch, brown, have 2 little antennas and moving really fast, doing maybe 1/4 inch in a blink of an eye ... Also, it look like fruit flies but in saltwater :confused:

I looked for eating monti nudibranch and flatworm but it doesn't look like what i have at all ...

Is it a nuisance or just normal pods ...

Thank you

Yep, just pods. They're probably on the coral because it appears to be almost completely dead.
