The ones on the countertop look to me like amphipods. Generally considered good to add--some people pay good money for pods 
Do NOT put that in your tank. Throw it away, right now. It sucks you paid for it. But take the loss now. Google ulva reef tank. That **** is super invasive. It will send out “spores” or whatever and it wil start growing in thousands of shards. It will outcompete any algae.
I had to break down a 150g because it did this. It had tens of thousands of shards of it growing everywhere and bottomed out my nutrients killing coral. I couldn’t even dose enough nitrate and phosphate to keep my levels above zero. It grows like crazy.
This **** shouldn’t be sold. Algae barn shouldn’t sell this, nor anyone else.
Edit: most stuff will not eat it. Some say tangs will, but it’s a bit or miss. I had 3 different tangs that wouldn’t touch it.
