There’s something in my fish tank, but I have no idea what it is and I need help identifying it. Thank you!

It looks like a fish louse. They aren't actual lice, but tiny little crustaceans. You'll need to treat the entire tank. These little buggers can be introduced to your tank on new fish or live plants. Microbe-Lift Fish Lice & Anchor Worm treatment is the recommended treatment of choice. Follow label directions carefully.
