There may be visual hints or clues such as a fish that shows its night-time colors/patterns during the day-time are indicating they are under stress. Signs range from the appearance of 'everything is fine' to tattered fins and a vacant expression. Stress can manifest itself in fish behavior. For instance, a fish that is doing something repetitive (like 'pacing' back and forth in the tank, or constantly picking at the same 'thing' in the tank where there is obviously no food) can be showing signs of stress. Sometimes a chronic (long term stress) shows itself by the fish 'wasting.' The fish thins to death. Quite often it is a fish that has stopped eating, sending a signal to the aquarist that there is stress. The thing about stress is that it can come at the fish being chronic (a slow effect) or acute (a very fast effect). It is the slow effects of stress that are usually ignored or left unnoticed by aquarists. Just remember: just because stress isn't obvious, doesn't mean it isn't there and happening.

Good members of the CUC - Bristleworms are harmless and very beneficial scavengers in an aquarium. Common bristleworms found in just about every reef aquarium are harmless. The spend much of their time eating waste products and detritus that builds up in your tank. They can reach areas of the tank that snails can't get to and rid it of accumulations of debris that would eventually breakdown in your tank putting off nitrogen as they decay.

Pods are good for your tank. A lot of fish like them for snacks, and some even for their whole dietary needs. Many people try to provide areas in the tank for the pod population to increase their numbers. They will eat any food that makes it to them and detritus that builds up in the tank.
basically... once a tank cycles
cuc - bioload positive
corals - bioload neutral (one a week, or so...)
fish - bioload (one a month, or a pair... )
