Baaaaaby Hermits? Do do, do do do do

Today with all the aquariums lights out, I noticed my clown, psuedo, and coral banded shrimp start flipping out. I frantically checked pumps, temperature, and electrical connections...nothing.

I turned on the light to see what was going on, they were eating something really tiny. Copepods were introduced about a month ago, but the fish have never had an interest in eating them.

 

Then I noticed something just a little bit bigger than brine shrimp, they look like really small mosquito larvae, or kind of like fish fry, and move in a very jerky manner while floating through the water column. I assume they’re hermits because I don’t have two of any animal except snails and hermits.

 

Can anyone identify? Also how do I take care of them?

As of now there are about 5x in a small quarantine with some algae thrown and no flow, while the rest are roughing it out with the the crew of the main tank.

Thanks!
