I think it's seawater copepod, and it's safe.
And If you have fish in there, they're going to eat them...

Looks like copepods to me and you can leave them they are beneficial. They're also a good food source for some types of fish.

yellow watchman goby & clowns,,, will they eat them?

[cocoa_pleco]

just pods, basically free food
