They could be springtails, which are used as food for tiny froglets and are harmless. Were they white? Did they move fast? And, did you notice any of them hopping?
It is hard to tell just from your description.

I'm with Jim. The possibilities are really spring tails or a free living mite. In either case, nothing to worry about. If you can't photograph them, do you think you could post a drawing of the shape?

well..they looked kinda dark colored and reminded me of tinyyy fleas.
they didnt jump but they scurried around when i poked the moss then dissappeared.
Sounds like springtails. The most common varieties in the hobby are white, but there are "blue", "black", "pink" varieties as well that look darker.
I googled springtail images and there are a ton. Here's a link to the results http://www.google.com/images?q=sprin...w=1259&bih=843
