What are copepods, I keep reading about how some fish like this but dont know what this is?

 

[brian'sreef]

copepods are tiny crustaceans that live amongst live rock and live sand.. alot of fish eat them and some require them..you can see them at night in you tank with a flashlight shine around in there for a while and you should see some..
