Coral Retracting- little white bugs

[brandon4432]

Hey everyone, hope your having an excellent start to the holiday break. For me it's been pretty discouraging as I have a marine velvet outbreak AND my GSP hasn't been out for a week and all I see are little white bugs squiring about the surface. They are invisible to the naked eye but some would say they look like Copepods or Ampepods but to me they seem smaller. It puzzle me because I think they are contributing to my coral not opening. Any suggestions would be awesome! Thanks. Merry Christmas to all and of course, happy reefing
