Are these pods?

[Bluefish9]

This is my first time using all dry rock when starting a tank and I was always under the impression pods had to be introduced one way or another, (frags, LR, cheato, etc). I didnt think they just appeared out nowhere?
This tank has been running about 6 weeks. Any insight? Hundreds of little white crawling dots on the lower few inches of my glass.

PS- If anyone knows how to post a video, please let me know

They sure do look like it! Go pod hunting at night! lol I do it all the time after the tanks lights are off for an hour of so get a flashlight and see if you see little bugs crawling on the live rock!

Nope. Only thing that could even be considered "live" that went in that tank was Bio Spira
