on my tank glass (inside) i have noticed some little white things, they are about 1/2mm in diameter and look like a snow flake. at first there was one or two but they are increasing.
I don't know if they are good, bad, disease or not. water conditions good, all i have in the 48x15x18 tank are sand, 20kilos of live rock, 2 scarlet hermits, 2 blue leg hermits, 2 turbo snails, boxing shrimp and a chromis. i have just bought these as the tank has just been running for about five weeks.
Can anyone help!

Trey is right again. They are either copepodes or amphipodes. (.) being a copepode and (--) being an amphipode in size.
