i was just looking in my fuge today and saw some sort of shrimp in there there are about ten of them in there. they are clear and are only about 5mm long (the biggest one i saw) but i am just trying to grow chaeto in there and have not seen any in my display or sump so are they dangerous? also i saw some snails and there is some sort of egg sac on my glass all are clear i will try to get some pics.
 
what you have is most likely pods in your fuge. They are good for eating detrius and for being food for your fish. They will be in your main tank but hiding in your LR. You can see them at night easier

If they look like shrimp they might be mysis shrimp. I have some living in mine. The look like mini clear shrimp. Could be pods like mentioned, but they look like bugs to me.
 
+ 1 Brian and Bobby...sounds like you have a fully functioning fuge...those clear sacs on the glass may be sponges(filter feeders).
