Ok this is going to be tough cause i cant get pics of them, anytime the lights are on even in the room they disappear into the LR

I have some odd looking "bugs" living the the LR, all the parms are normal and nothing seems to be affected these little guys seem to run around on/in the LR and are brown/cream striped biggest one ive seen is about 1/4" in length

Thanks

Check out this article. Those Little White Bugs In Your Saltwater Aquarium Profiled - Classification Information and Facts About Copepods and Amphipods

Sounds to me like amphipods.

Do they have like a "fetal position" look? If they do, dont worry those are good. Im not good with names so I cant tell you what they are but I think they are what Bruce said, amphipods.
