If they scoot around pretty fast, they're probably Mysid shrimp. I can't ever get them to reproduce like some people do (fish free and crushed coral tanks seem to have a ton):

Really good natural food for your animals.

Yeah, they be scoot'n pretty good. Thats probably what they are. I lose dozens every time a do a water change. Maybe I’ll get a little sieve.
 
Add Copepods & Amphipods to the dbtc they breed like crazy alot faster then snails plus who Qt’s them lol
Probably a good list to have for "successful" tanks where we can get "tank grunge" to be on there. DBTC for gunk in their tank for people that want to inoculate their systems with good organisms. I know I hit up Kenny and scoop stuff out of his invert tanks since they're full of good things. Almost like a donor registry lol
