Bugs on octospawn and hammers - Need help

Hello,

My octospawn was not doing so good starting last month. The flesh looks okay but it's not fully expanded compared with before. Yesterday I just found there're tons of white/transparent bugs crawling around its tentacles and flesh. I looked at my other two hammers which are placed closed by also have a few bugs. All other torches and hammers in my tank are a bit far away so didn't found any bugs so far. I did a coral Rx dip yesterday but today I can still see bugs on them.
It may because I got a wild kingspawn last December and didn't dip it. It was also placed closed by these infected guys and eventually it got BJD and I threw it away. I'm wondering if these bugs moved to the close by euphyliya and host them.
Now does anyone have the same issue before?I searched on r2r someone suggested to use interceptor but I can't get it. Anyone has better solutions? Thanks a lot!
Picture is hard to take, these bugs looks like copepods but smaller in size. And they only crawling on the meat of my coral.
 
Need good pics for a positive ID. Everything else is just a guess

I tried, they're so tiny that I can't get a clear picture. Those small white dots are them.
 
Thanks for the info and great video. So did the melafix help you clear all the bugs? I don't know where can I get interceptor so I would like to try melafix.

I just saw it knock some off. I have no idea if it would be an effective treatment plan nor do I know if it even kills them.
