Hey Guys,

I have recently upgrading my tank to a larger model, but i decided to change my sand, i went for Fiji Pink Live Sand.
The transfer went perfectly and nothing was lost, however i have now noticed that these little white creatures are all over the tank, everyone has told me that its Pods but they aren't 100% sure.

I am just looking for answers and whatever they are how to at least reduce them if they are pods, or if they aren't pods how to get rid of them. I have tried finer filter socks, and floss.
Should i try a UV steriliser? OR build a refugium?
I am debating dosing the tank with chemicals, but that has to be a last resort surely? but if its the only option i will definitely do it.

Absolutely any help will be useful :):)!!

Really can not see anything in your pictures. Are they free swimming in the water? If so they are not pod's they love to live in the rocks and cracks of rocks. You will sometimes see them on the glass but not often especially when fish are out as they are food. An they know it.:)

They are really hard to capture in a good picture, they are free floating so that rules out pods as i thought!
Any idea of what they could be? I am not really sure how to get a good picture :(.
 
If you can get them under a microscope that would be ideal. You take a pic from the scope.
