Tiny white creatures..size of flee or smaller

[ztoom]

I have thousands of tiny white creatures crawling all over my tank walls, they are about the size of a flee or smaller and they move really fast. Could you please tell me what they are? Thanks

Sounds like pods... they're ok. Actually, a sign of a healthy tank.

All just live food for corals, fish, and critters.
