Question Copepods and hydroids?

Are small amounts of these that hitchhike into my tank on live rock anything to worry about? I've seen the copes on my tank walls on occasion and I just bought 2 beautiful new pieces of live rock that seem to have a few hydroids.

Kill the hydroids.

Pods are food.

You can just flatten out some epoxy and smother the colony. I wouldn't bother until they start to get out of hand though.
