I have a bunch of corals with some inverts in a qt tank, I dipped all the coral before putting them in. I just noticed a lot of movement on the glass in the tank...what are these and how should I treat?
Little tiny white bugs?

How you should treat... with respect and admiration. Those little buggers are expensive and people pay good money to seed their tank with them. Count yourself fortunate that you have a great population of them.

usually yes, but they will become food for corals, and fish. if they have where to hide and populate, you can have constant food flow

Time for a fish that eats them!
I hear corals eat them if they can catch them.
If you can catch I’ll take them off your hand!

They can and likely will, however, they will not be en mass as you have in the QT. So long as you have not treated the water with and meds, you can siphon (read turkey baster or syringe) out as many as you can and increase the population in your DT. Corals and fish will eat them. If you have live rock, substrate, or porous structure to hide in, they will have a happy home to proliferate.
