I dont know what to call these guys...
 
I have had my tank up for about 4 months...things are looking good until you get your face up against the glass and look at the live rock. There are these little off white "bugs" all over my live rock. I have two clowns, a sand star, a pin cushion urchin, 2 small konchs, a toadstool, and 25 Asteria snails. These little "mites" seem to hang on the rock and they walk very fast, and they can hop. All inhabitants seem OK which is good and the little bugs are not getting bigger. They are just multiplying all the time.

I dont know what they are. I cant take a picture of them because people would think I am taking pics of my rock and that I am nuts. THEY ARE THAT SMALL. Any ideas?

There are sooo many little white bugs that live in our tanks that without a picture its almost impossible to say for sure what you've got. Here's a couple articles which might help.
