Look like mysid shrimp.

Mysid shrimp | Melev's Reef

Tiny pods scurring about our tank are sometimes problematic, but not these guys. These are Mysid shrimp, which are very small and rather translucent. For a comparison, please note the size of the grains of sand in this image. Wrasses, mandarins and more would be happy to snack upon these little...

So I bought mysid shrimp from a nursery, and now I am fairly certain whatever those pods are in the OP's video, they are not mysid nor do I think the video below are mysid. I had those pods in my tank like that until I treated for Red Bugs, and I am desperate to get them back just 'cuz I think they are an indication of a healthy balanced reef and great food for mandarins which I'd like very much to add to my reef.

Question for Gary the OP: Would you be willing to siphon out some and ship them?

If you have any interest I'm happy to send a PM with an offer. Wither way thanks for sharing the video.
