Strange little white creatures on glass

[joeflorida]

My tank is about 2 months old now and today I noticed hundreds / thousands of very small white creatures walking on my glass. What could they be ? Should I be worried ?
My tank currently has 20 lbs of LR, 2 clowns, and 1 anemone.

They are probably copepods and no you should not worry they are good for cleaning up waste and make a great snack for some fish.

Thanks, As I am typing, we are noticing that the clowns are eating them off the glass.

You need LR to seed your tank with copepods. They're a sign of good water quality.
