Little white bugs on glass and zoos?

Okay...this problem started a couple of days ago. There are tiny white bugs moving around the front glass and on the zoo...probably eating the decaying part. What are they and will they go away?

Well, that description leaves me thinking that they are pods. Think free food. Then go buy a Mandarin, or Pipefish to thrive in your tank.
Seriously, it's likely a good thing and your corals will eat zooplankton free of charge.

I've seen the same thing happen in every new tank that I have started. I think that they are pods and bacteria starting in the new tank. Its a good thing :-)

cool, thanks. I'll leave them be...I was scraping them off the wall. I'll try and get a pic though just to make sure.

they are a self regulating population, when the tank starts and there is a lot of waste, usually from live rock, they proliferate. when the food sources dry up, they start to trail off in numbers. as mentioned above, nothing to be concerned about.
