It could be something harmless or even good for the tank like copepods. Can you get a good pic?

sounds like pods on the glass. Not sure if you would be able to see parasites with the naked eye. ( Aside from certain stages of life, ick)

Could also be bad pods. when I first started about 5 years ago, They killed 1/2 of my fish. I brought a sample to the Maritime Center in CT, A major public aquarium, And they diagnosed it. I thought my fish had ICK also but under close observation, you could see the little buggers moving on the fish. When they got into the gills, that's when trouble starts. I'm not saying that's what you have but check to see if they are moving on your fish and mostly fall of when the lights are on for a while.
