Can someone help identify these tiny things that are currently infesting my tank? From research I’ve found they would be considered Seed Shrimp or Ostracods but that seems to be a freshwater creature more than salt. Will a green mandarin eat them?

Hey man I’ve been having the exact same problem I got them on a pair of zoas I think I dipped them before I put them in and again when I noticed them originally but they have gotten out of hand and started going on my rocks and glass I see them everywhere. If you had any luck in getting rid of them any help would be greatly appreciated I have ID’d them as the ostracods aswell through research and found very little info
