Im sorry for your loss and I hope your other fish pull through.

As for your question.
Most likely a type of Pod.
Look around here.

Agreed ^. Sounds like pods. They sort of look like little white bugs. They are usually common when you first start your tank. I know i came home one day (prior to stocking anything... just LR) and they were EVERWHERE! They are beneficial though... lots of fish like madarins and gobies snack on them. They are also about $25 a bottle to buy and introduce to your system (called Tiger or Tigger Pods).
