Probably copepods or pods for short. These little "bug" hitchhike on live rock & in live sand & are really good for your tank because they provide live food for your fish & stuff later on.

Patience is a key I have found in this hobby, Always learning I find

Probably some kind of Copepod. Every new tank I have ever set up got them. Only is really new tanks though. If you use a lot of material from an existing tank they don't seem to show up. They soon disappear though.
