Fast white bugs
White maybe size of a needlehead.
ALWAYS on the top of the water column and they move like bullets. I have seen white worms swimming at the top of my tank just before lights out too. |

There flesh eating dots, don't put your hands in the tank!!!!
(copepods, perfectly harmless, reef safe, and even better than that, they feed your fish and corals, very good thing to have in your tank. Dose phytoplankton to keep em fed and propogating, you'll need plenty if you hope to keep certain fishies.)

If it is it's the Carl Lewis of pods. These things are fast and always just under the water lvl.

the little worms may be flatworms, if there white though, probably perfectly harmless. Could be nematoads though, do those get in saltwater tanks as well?
