COPEPOD - small creatures that usually get into reef tanks via live rock - they look like tiny white bugs, very prolific.

Yeah basically very small, near microscopic creatures with an exoskeleton, usually eight legs, etc. You can also find isopods in your tank in the form of tiny clear1/8" to 1/4" eight legged "bugs" that crawl around your glass, and rock. Look at your tank at night and you will be amazed at the stuff you will find!
