Re: Copepods???
Doesn't look like it from the pic. It looks more like a bristle worm but it's hard to tell with it being so blurry. Wetwebmedia, Aquarium, Pond, Marine and Freshwater Fish, reef tanks, and Aquatics Information has a good data base on hitch hikers.

Re: Copepods???
yeah they'll kinda fit themselves in a tight spot in the live rock and kinda roll themselves on the rock. i had figured they were pods, they looked like they were scavanging for things.
