With lights off. Found a ton of these little bugs running all over my tank. They look like they have blue on them. I took video but I can’t get it to load. Sorry for bad pic. These things are fast too!

I have no idea what they are. I know they bother my fish when they are sleeping at night. I will try and catch some tonight when lights are off. That’s the only time I see them out
 
I have a Manderin goby and it looks like he won’t eat them. At least I don’t see him eating them.
 
It would be very hard to give you an exact ID but I believe it's a copepod from the harpacticoida family. Like said above I would try and get some clear pictures/videos of them and maybe we can get a better ID for you.
