What are they? My anemone died in one corner of the tank and now that corner is TEAMING with these white BARELY visable to the naked eye bugs...
What do I do?

Do you have live rock or live sand in your tank? These sound like microorganisms (small shrimp, isopods, amphipods, copepods, and other zooplankton) that usually come with "live" substrates that are feeding on the remains of the anemone that are still in the tank.
You can look through these links and see if any look like what you're seeing:
