I have these tiny white things all over my glass.

It was hard to get this picture because they are so small and my camera didn't want to focus on them but they are all over the glass. With the flow off (and on) they randomly move around too.
 
Looks like it but so tiny in pic.
Grab a net and scoop some into a cup and if they are scurrying around- Pods they are and return to tank.

Do they move like fleas? If so, copepods.

I don't think I can net them up, they are very tiny. I was considering using a dropper to get one just not sure if I'll be able to get a small sample size under the scope.

I think they do? I don't really know what fleas move like hah. Basically they randomly move and scurry to a spot.

IF you see them eating plankton
I need some plankton... :)

Get some magnification on them, but that tank looks ready for a beautiful Mandarin Dragonette!
I actually have a mandarin, but he mostly eats mysis lol. That's also sort of why I'm asking because I figured he'd be destroying this population.
