small white somethings??

[tmace64]

Reaching 9th week of a cycle,,,, alls lookin good.....

I have 2 yellow tail damsels, several hermits and 4 snails

??? Today, I noticed all these little white organisms on the inside of the glass only near the bottom. These little white things are smaller than a pinhead and reside all along the bottom about an inch up on the glass,,,, they sit still and run around on the glass.

WHAT CAN THEY BE??

I also have 7lbs of LR in the tank too,,,, it was purchased "cured".
Are these organisms from the rock?

THANKS

I would say so. They more than likely are copepods or amphipods-'pods. They usually come in by the loads and there are alot of species. Good food for fish. They usually build self-sustaining populations. Not bad by any means. Shine a flashlight in there some night, then you'll see them all over.
