The white specs seem to be eating algae. Do not look like the hydrangea I had before. I think the white specs can crawl

White spots that crawl and eat algae are usually Copepods.
They are larger than the tisbe I grow to seed the tanks. I did put in new snails 3 weeks ago so I suppose a different species could have come in on them
