What are these.. ID help..

Got these all over the glass.. Move fairly quick and very small. The tank is cycled and only 6 weeks old. I have no fish and a small GSP small Zoas. On 29th I did added 2 bottles of Purple Helix coralline algae form AlgaeBarn. Are these copepods that came as hitchhikers with the Helix Hope the pics are good enough

they look like pods to me, if you want to get rid of them get a wrasse but they do no harm and can help feed picky fish like dragonets and butterfly's

Most definitely copepods and most definitely a GOOD thing to have. Go to Algaebarn.com and see how much people pay for them.

That's what I was hoping for I know they are good bugs.. Pretty cool.. I was wondering why my new tank diatom bloom was dying back so quickly..

I am for sure a big fan of AlgaeBarn now. Get a 2 for one.... Corraline alage buster and pods also. I will also add that I do have coralline algae growing on my return pumps so it does speed the process of up.
