I've never seen these in my tank before. The only thing that's changed is that I lost power for about 24 hours and for the last 3 or 4 hours I've had a spare heater (which hasn't been in water in well over a month) and a powerhead I pulled out of my salt mixing bucket (had them connected to a Ryobi inverter). When the power came back on and I was taking the heater out I noticed all these tiny white bugs crawling around on it. They're about a third size of a spirobid and, as you can see, quite mobile.
Looking closely, I do see a few of them on the glass here and there, but I've never seen them before. In a previous post I mentioned that my algae, of which I have quite a bit, suddenly had a lot of tiny white specs in it. But I don't see any of them moving around.
Any thoughts?
Edit, I ostracods?
