    Our 2 clown fish are in a QT for the next 8 weeks, all that is in the tank is coral a fire shrimp, snails and hermit crabs

    Do I need to worry about these?

    Thanks

    No, their numbers are controlled by available food. They eat algae and detritus.

    The bigger one with a lot of little legs is an isopod and the smaller white specks are copepods. beneficial for your tank i would just leave them be
