well your fish are probably hiding because you turned on the light when it was off for the night. Some fish get very used to our timed cycles.
As for the swimming things, are they swimming onthe glass, or out in the open?

out in the open,
im 90% sure they are my pepperment shrimp's babys they look liek shrimp and they have a tiny redish body

That's awesome. I'm not sure what they eat, but if you dont want them to be food I'd get them out to your QT (you have a QT right ) You may need to buy a bottle of phyto or something to feed them, but at 5-10 bux a piece you're doing well. You can probably trade them with folks in your local reef club to get frags and the like

If you're not prepared to raise them (research and setup) they'll just become fish food. They are soo fragile right now that if they even bump into the glass they can be crushed.
I've seen it several times in my tank and very cool each time -- totally by accident once and once I saw them carrying eggs I started looking late at night on occasion.
