Dr. Ron. -
I have some small white things all over the glass in my aquarium. They are truly tiny, much less than a mm across. They move rather fast for their size. Sorry about the picture quality, i'll try to get a better picture. When looked at under a magnifying glass they appear to have two antennae. Other than that, they are too tiny to tell. The only other info I have that may be of some help is that I am currently waiting for Ich to die out of my system.http://reefcentral.com/gallery/data/500/66437small_white_things.JPG

Hey. Sounds like copepods. They are beneficial in your aquarium, and many fish/corals use them as food.
