I have see about 10 to 15 small little things running on my live rock (about and ant size). Is this normal? They run/move along fast and can’t get a pic. Should I worry about them or is it just part of the cycle?
 
It's propably copepods but a pic would help.
 
This is the best pic I could get. Do I need to worry about this little animal running on my rocks?

Is this a bad thing? Do I need to get them out of the tank? If so what is the best way to get them out?
 
Leave them, they are good for the tank. There are different types of pods - copepods, amphipods, etc.
They eat left overs and detritus. Fish also love them :)
Google it and have a look ;)
