A few minutes ago I turned on the light to my Nano and saw tons of these little things floating around, I can see their eyes and it looks like that have legs on one side. When they're not being moved around by the flow, they move in quick twitches. I guess you could say they are a fleshy color, or some kind of pink. They're tiny, I thought they were bits of dust I knocked up. The tank is still cycling, but the LR was sitting in the previous holding tank for a while. At first I thought they could be Brine Shrimp, but knowing my luck they're probably something bad. Does anyone know what these could be?
Tiny creatures floating in the water?

if you see them swimming around, they probably arent copepods. it is possible, but pretty much only if you ahve super super super low flow in your tank.
do you have any mysis shrimp. a while ago i added about 20-30 pounds of lr that was covered in mysis and sometimes id see my clowns freaking out and when i turn on a flashlight there is a flood of baby mysis shrimp.
