Are they beige in colour? If so they are scavengers and are harmless allthough a pest to get rid of. They often come from cork bark or some substrates. Did you not wash the cork before putting it in? If not then I suggest you take it out and give it a thorough wash. They may be in the viv now though and are tricky to get rid of.
