Fleas???

I have a two month old 29g. I have all these little white flea looking things on the glass. To small to get a clear picture. Any ideas on what they are and threat level?

Probably some sort of copepod. Threat level zero. Do you have liverock or livesand? It is usually full of 'em.

FWIW --landlord
