Little white bugs!

[Doop]

I came home today to find these little white bugs on my glass. They look like tiny little fleas but the color of salt. They are moving around and I figure 50-75 of them that I can see. Everyone in the tank appears to be healthy but I’m nervous as to what this is. The tank is 14 weeks with two ocellaris clowns, 2 firefish, 1 pajama Cardinal, 1 6 line wrasse. Am I in trouble? Thanks for reading and any advice you may have.

Copepods. They’re good. Fish love them.

They should be fine. Always check on your coral every now and then to make sure they are healthy. I once picked up SPS eating amphipods from a frag swap when I did not quarantine the frags I bought...lesson learned always quarantine and dip corals.

I know this is an old post but my tank is 2 months old and I was blowing off the too of the rocks with turkey baster and wrong idea because a big cloud erupted lol so I turned back on power heads and see a bunch of those things on my glass thinking it was sand until I noticed they starting moving! Was your tank and coral ok afterwards? Im worried now!
