What I see on the leaves of a plant in my shrimp tank.
It looked like they may be moving in jumps. If so, might be a copepod.
There are lots of small things that can live in water systems. There are little things related to daphnia and moina that mostly just craw over surfaces.
I have books on what lives in sewage plants (a big biological filter). There are thousands of single celled things and lot of worms and arthropods that are mostly small.
I recently found some black worms living in a tank I had not fed black worms to in more than two years!
Not baby shrimp Willie, but whatever they are I think your adult shrimp will surely eat them. I had some little white crawly things on the glass of my shrimp tank. A couple days later every one was gone.

and it isn't the thing Liz had on some of hers.
Thanks for the feedback Bill and Barb. I haven't looked at the tank closely today but I will be doing water changes on it later this morning.
...I agree with Bill...probably a copepod of some type...not parasitic...
