I was topping off my tank and noticed these little white specs crawling all over the glass. Not sure if they are good or bad, please help identify and share treatment plans if needed. Would be much appreciated thank you!

Hydroid jellyfish. Often seen in new tanks. Usually disappear. They apparently can sting fish, but I've never had them.
+1. Should not be problematic and likely will end up disappearing over time.

Thank you :) Would you recommend I do something to remove them or just let it be ?

Got it I also see these small white mite like creatures swimming in the water and up on the glass. Way too small to photograph any ideas?
