Some type of pod?

Just added a cryptic seed pack a week ago and these cool guys show up! The rest of my rock is dry rock so they had to come from the seed rock. Please id if possible. Thanks in advance.

Nearly impossible to assist with that picture.

What do they look like? All they look like are white small snails but I know they are pods.

the video shows them moving. deff not a snail! they dart around. you would need a micro scope to get a real pic of these small things.

Copepods of some sort.

HERE is the "pod-o-pedia." I'd focus on amphipods, isopods, and copepods......these are the common guys in our aquaria. (Your photo link isn't working of me.)

Definitely copepods! Good guys :)

+1 I've heard of certain pods that cling to rock! Just never experienced them before. I've always just had Copepods that are free floating in the water column. I personally think these are better just for the fact they won't get taken out or trapped by my filter socks and sucked through pumps as much.
