micro flea type bugs

[steviep]

Hi I'm a noob with a small salt water 30l tank I have been running for 4 weeks with only gravel and live rock after week 4 I added a snail and 2 Halloween crabs cleaner shrimp, week 6 I added 2 corals, all are doing great.

 

I've done 2 partial water changes. I intend to add more snails soon. the thing is I've noticed is very small flea like creatures that get blown around the tank and settle on the glass, are these anything to worry about ? what are they ? and if need be how do I get rid of them ?  

 

I've tried to take a photo but my phone doesn't handle macro very well

 

TIA

Copepods. You want them, they clean up detritus and sacrifice themselves to become fish food.

that's great news thanks for identifying these for me I'm guessing these are from the live rock
