Can someone tell me what these are?

Hello everyone,

I’ve seen these little white critters all over my system and they are EVERYWHERE. I want to think they’re a type of copepod but I’m not entirely certain. I tried my best to get a good picture. Thanks for any identification!

Too small to tell anything...
How old is your tank and what's currently in it? Many little critters have population explosions in new tanks and then disappear as quickly as they appeared...

Looks like baby cerith or nerite snails

I’ve had this one running for about 5 or 6 months. I have 10 pounds of live rock from another system I started it with and I spread a layer of live sand during startup. The only inverts I have are hermits, turbo snails, and one cleaner shrimp.

+1 on baby Nerite or Cerith snails, they seem to breed faster than other species and more seem to make it.
