Found a bunch of these on my glass today. Not sure what they are hopefully pods. Thanks for any help.
 
They are hanging around algae on my glass.
 
The video isn’t loading for me. Are you able to post a YouTube link or photos?
 
Pretty sure that's a small bristleworm there.
 
Yes, those are copepods and a small worm of some sort. Good to have.
That's kinda crazy for me, I dosed in like 10k or so pods but I assumed they all died due to my 120 watt UV. Guess some made it.
 
Thanks!
Looks like munnid isopods and a dorvilleidae worm. Both are harmless grazers/detritivores and are on the rarer side when it comes to hitchhikers (much rarer than copepods and bristleworms respectively), though I have had them both in my systems.

Definitely seems like isopods and not sure about the worm.
