They don’t SEEM like baby detritus worms but I’m praying that’s what they are. There’s two patches of them on the front side of my tank, can’t see any more but there probably are more. Literally shaking, please don’t tell me this is some sort of pesk
They are DEFINITELY moving too

Looks like copepods or spring tails or something. Both harmless, your fish will eat them it’s like a multivitamin
Grab a better photo and I’ll tell you for sure

Are they on the surface of the water or physically in/under the water? Springtails can’t break the surface tension I believe
Springtails won’t be submerged. I can’t make out exactly what they are, but a harmless detritivore of some kind is a very safe bet. Maybe rhabdoceola flatworms if they’re strictly on the glass and not free-swimming.
