sounds like a copepod or an amphipod

Amphipods. Good for your tank. Not to worry!

You can find pics of pods in the hitchiker thread in the archives.

Thank You all for the reply. They are amphipods. I am glad the they are nothing bad. Should I control the population?

No, your inhabitants will eat them when you start adding fish etc.
