I feed my corals daily Reef Roids, RS ab+ and other mashed stuff. Occasionally this happens after about 10 minutes: a swarm of swimming white dots that the fish eat. What do you think? Pretty cool me think…

Count in the hundreds!

some kind of isopod would be my guess

What crustaceans do you have in the tank?

Given the shape (particularly the notable size difference between the head and tail) and lack of other distinctive features (such as a spike jutting off the head like seen on crab larvae or a bunch of tiny swimming legs under the head like seen on mysid shrimp), my first thought would be hermit crab larvae of some kind (or potentially porcelain crab larvae, though that would be less common).

Edit: To add, clear pics of the tail and the frontmost part of the head (where a little spike going forward instead of up - the rostrum - should be) may be useful.
