It's dark in the room with my tank and I walked in and quickly shined a flashlight into my tank. I was a bit suprised when I saw thousands of little things swimming in a swarm around a few frags and clams that I have at the bottom. I was unable to get a pic because they are so small, but they basically looked like a grain of salt with a little tail. Do I have marine couties in my tank? Does this sound like an isse anyone else has had? Is it time to start medicating my tank? Any thoughts?

Here's my best attempt at a pic of the little guys. Notice the white spots in the pic.

I've got 3 different types of shrimp in my tank. Peppermint, banded, and some other shrimp whose name i cant remember but it cost like $20

I've recently added a few new frags so I'm a bit weary as to whether they're newborns or hitchhikers.

I'm maxing out the range of my camera with 4x zoom at 5megapixels.
I can barely see them with my eyes and they're not really showing up in the camera. Got any camera tricks?

I tried scooping some into a glass and shooting from the glass but it didint help.

I'm a little less paranoid cause I saw my hermit crabs have begun eating the little buggers.
