Small white moving specks on glass...id please

I don't know what they are but they are super small white specks on my glass that are crawling around...

I don't know how else to describe it but it looks like moving specks of ich or something...

Anyone have any idea what these are?

Assuming your tank is relatively young, they're pods. They're good, and the population spiked for me as well but is down now to where I really never see them. No worries.

If you can keep them healthy and numerous you can have fish that eat them. Feed them phytoplankton, if you have ambitions in this direction.
