Hello all!
New to aquariums and found myself with a few surprise Mystery Snail clutches that I decided to incubate and hatch.
This is an extreme close up of a breeding box in my Mystery Snail nursery aquarium.
There seem to be two different kinds of "pests" here. They are not visible with the naked eye.
Can anyone tell me what they are and how to deal with them?
Thank you!

Looks to me like detritus worms & copepods all harmless IME.

Thank you MattW.

Thanks so much MattW.
Anything you can recommend that will keep them under control?

They are detritus cleaners, so the only way to keep them under control is to limit the quantity of food available to them.

Like Matt mentioned they are harmless and contribute keeping your tank clean.
