So i was checking up on my brackish water fiddler crab tank, and there are these little tiny springtails running over the driftwood and the sand. are there brackish water springtails, or are these something else?

They are probably some other type of isopod. I have never heard of a brackish water springtail.

They exist, Anurida maritima are a good example of a saltwater springtail.
