Hi all I noticed this yesterday and didn’t pay that much attention to it, today I took a closer look and I saw they actually moved.
Tank is almost 6 months all, only 1.5 months with the lights so far.

Are these copepods?

Sorry for the not so good pics but are the next ones I could get

Looks like it. At first I couldn't tell due to the video and the zoom? But the movement (the way they move) is definitely copepod-ey... that is not a word....
