Been seeing more and more popping up and hanging out on glass look at photo sorry hard to get good pics on small critters all small white specks on back glass

Certainly looks like they're copepods. If you watch them for a little while they will move, often in quick, short spurts. Good thing to see in your tank!

Yes I see them move not quick short burst tho it's just like they crawl a little then stop could they be a problem if there are to many I dont think anything in my tank eats them

I can't think of any scenario they would be a threat in your tank. I would be excited as many fish that feed heavily on copepods are among the most interesting and colorful in the hobby!

Understood. I have a 10 gallon IM Fusion nano that has lots of copepods without any issues (or any fish that eat them). Don't worry about it, they are still a good thing.
