Barrier Grief

I've had a Dispar Anthias in QT since early May. Treated proactively with 2 back to back rounds of Prazi, then nearly 4 weeks of Cupramine. Just before I was going to put in DT, he developed a small white spot which bloomed into either a very bad bacterial or fungal infection. Treatment with Furan-2 and Pimafix seemed to resolve that issue about 3 weeks ago. I figured I'd observe for another few weeks to make sure he's good to go before sending to DT, which I planned to do this weekend.
Last night I find these extremely small white worms on the glass, by the thousands, if not tens of thousands. They are very small (won't even attempt a pic), and are definitely not pods - seen too many pods to make that mistake. Not knowing what they are, I put a dose of Prazi in the tank, which seemed to do absolutely nothing to affect them. They might be harmless to the fish, as so far he seems completely unaffected. But I sure would like to know if they are parasitic or not to figure out the right next step. Any ideas on what they might be and if they are harmful?
