I found this when I moved some of my live rock. Is it ok to put it back in the tank? Or is it bad? It moves like a shrimp and worm if that makes sense, almost on its side when I'm watching it. Did not float around the tank when it first came out. It stayed near the sand bottom.

So I went to clean the front glass on my tank today and noticed a bunch of red dots on one end of my tank. Upon further inspection they appear to be copepods. I haven't added any to my tank and haven't added anything they can hitch a ride on to lately so I'm not sure where they came from...
