Identification - What kind of reef pest is this?

[Staaan]

Found this in my friend's tank... got no clue what it is. He asked me to post up this video to see if any one on RC knows.

You can select 720p quality so you can get a bit of a better picture. They were very small I had to use an extension tube on my camera to get a shot of them. They have this slime/hair like projections coming out of their bodies.

Weiiiiiiird.

They look like a water flea of some sort or a sand flea.
