Tiny white specks all over glass

[Qbmafia444]

I’m curious as to what are those tiny white specks on my glass that suddenly appeared out of no where. They are all over everything, they don’t move until I scrape off. I’m hoping they are pods. My tank is up running about a year. Started with fishless cycle and have no coral just fish.

I couldn’t focus on the glass well enough but my magnet scrapper is covered in them so I zoomed in on that

I’m having the same but move.. looks like tiny crustaceans almost like red bugs. I’ve had them and these are eating the corals food and move very rapidly.

Copepods.

Thank you loads!! Plenty of food for a mandi and corris wrasse looks like

 

[Reef Hammer]

Listen to reef lover. He nailed it. Definitely don’t look like copepods to me. My guess is they are hard like grains of sand and not moving.
