I added two new frags to my tank. I woke up this morning and noticed there were white specks on my glass. It's hard to tell what it is but they are moving and there's a good amount on my glass. I would take a picture but it's hard to take a picture of something so tiny. I'm going to post some pictures so you can see what I have in my tank and maybe somebody can explain what it is to me. Thank you in advance.

Probably copepods or isopods. Both are good. I would highly recommend dipping any coral you get.

PS don't forget to feed those feather dusters phytoplankton.

Is this ok??
 
As for dipping, there are liquid that you mix with tank water and place in a container where you stir the water for 5-10 minutes with the new coral in it. This prevents anything from sneaking into your tank via the frag tank

Too late now wish I would have known that ahead of time. you would think the people that I brought it at the fish store would tell me they type of things. Right now I'm not getting any more so I'm good for now. It's funny that you said that I noticed when I placed a new one and my tank I saw like a little tiny worm on it. Should I be worried?
