A picture will be easier to understand what you are seeing . But my guess would be that you are seeing some pods .

They probably are pods (copepod, amphipod, isopod). Are they very fast moving and look like they may be very tiny crustaceans?
If so, you have a self-regenerating supply of fish food! Not a problem. They probably hitched in on your LR.
Many fish will eat these pods and some of the species of fish that we keep won't eat anything except for theses "bugs".
Do a SEARCH on this site for "HITCHHIKER" and you will find more.

thay are running around verry fast i kind of jump the gun with puting fis i only have gold strip clown and lm bunny 1 dansel and enename i dont think my tank is ready for more fish yet

I get the feeling that maybe your tank hasn't cycled yet? Is that what you mean "jumping the gun"?
Your anemone will need to be fed meaty foods, I hope your LFS shared that info. Buy some frozen silverside, thaw small bits and feed the anemone directly.
Your lawnmower blenny might also benefit from food with a higher algae content, if the tank is new, there probably not much grazing for him..
