I have a 10g coral qt going with a few softies and a candy cane coral. I've noticed what I believe are copepods in there after about 2 weeks (very tiny white dots moving around on the glass and frag rack.

I'm pretty sure this won't cause any issues, but haven't come up with a good answer from google search.

Just want to get some reassurance. No issue correct?

I've never had issues with copepods. I think you're good .

People will debate all day about amphipods, which I believe are willing to eat healthy coral.
 
Been reefing for a while and have never had an issue or "too many pods"

There will be no issues with them in the tank.
 
As someone that does this for a living you have ZERO worries about copepods or amthipods in your QT system. Honestly look at as a benefit
