Critter ID help

Hello there. If anyone can help identify what this is on my glass. It's not air bubbles. They seem to be swaying and sticking to the back of my tank.

Also note that we have added trigger pods about a month ago in the back of our AIO tank.

Tried getting a better picture in clearer lighting but the back of my tank is reflecting.

Those are copepods which are free food for fish and coral

Tiggers are usually red (or maybe tan) compared to other pods which look white. Are the things on your glass reddish?
Can you get a pic with less blue light?

Pods don't usually "sway". Might be algae growing on the glass and catching detritus...?

The bottom picture and video are without the blue light. My tank has a black glass panel it's a Waterbox AIO and it was hard to get a clearer picture. The ones on the glass are not red. They are clear. This is what I could get with a flashlight

I'm sorry, but I just don't have any ideas other than algae growth.

Welcome to Da Reef! Stick something down to where you see them…Do they scurry away? Or do they stay put?

I vote copepods as stated above and is a sign of a healthy environment.

So I tried sticking something and they stay put then I tried scrubbing and they end up coming back and sticking to the same spot
