Possible parasite?

My girlfriend noticed that when she turns her lights on she sees these little worms on the liverock/corals and they run for cover. I checked myself and they dont look like worms as it looks like they have legs, almost like super small white brine shrimp or something. I read through a few of my reef books and they mentioned nothing like this in the parasite section, any clue what it could be? I would try and get a picture but they are so small it wouldnt even happen
 
I had a feeling they were some type of copepod, but i didnt think they were visual to the eye. I just got worried when I saw them hiding underneath her shrooms and what not. Then this morning I checked and I dont think I saw any so maybe they all got eaten or they were hiding before I could even see them
