Welcome to R2R! You've joined a great community with lots of friendly folks willing to help when needed. They look like amphipods. Others will chime in.

Welcome to the R2R community
I am pretty sure those are gammarid amphipods, not copepods. Amphipods are noticeably larger (5-7mm) than copepods (2-3mm) and are more bug-like or shrimp-like in appearance.
They are still food for fish and corals as well as nice little clean-up crew.
