Little white bugs?

[Scatcat]

I have these little white bugs in my tank. They don't look like copepods and they are so small there is no way I can take a picture. The copepods I have resemble small fleas, these are tiny and completely white. Any suggestions?

they are also probably copepods just baby ones. Nothing to be scared about they are beneficial

I was hoping that was what you were going to say. Thank you, they look like tiny lice, I see them floating around then when I saw one on the back of my tank I thought ohh they are not dead, maybe I should be concerned. Thank you

Sorry to break in on your thread but...I just noticed some tiny things that look like fleas on my sand. They were eating a piece of seaweed in my tank. I just put in some live sand yesterday and I have some live rock. Are the flea things bad ? What are they ? HELP !!!!

Copepods, and no, they are not harmful.
