Anyone know what these are?

Uhh... These are all over my relatively new ocean nutrition formula one pellets... Obviously the food is going in the trash... But wtf... They look like ticks...

I thought the brown was just dust from the pellets, but then one time I went to feed when the blues were on, and there was a bunch of white glowing in the container. So I looked closely and could see it moving.
