They're all over my glass. Haven't seen my shrimp for a day or two. Got an a new anemone on Sunday. Little squiggly lines. What is it. Only other tank inhabitants are my two tomatoes.

Think its in the wrong forum or they ask in s couple different places not realizing it goes to main forum page. I just aks the mods to combine them

Just put some phytoplankton in the tank. Time to buy a mandorin.
Not necessarily. First, the pods you are seeing are amphipods. Mandarins eat copepods, which are quite a bit smaller. Second, a mandarin can eat thousands of copepods a day.
Unless you're planning to buy a captive bred one that you know is eating prepared/frozen foods, in a tank as young as yours, it is likely to starve without you adding a bottle or 2 of pods per week.
