Bright orange & red pods?

[SuncrestReef]

Today while shooting some macro photos of my corals, I noticed some tiny orange & red critters walking around on an acro frag. They are barely visible to the naked eye, but through my 200mm macro lens you can sort of make out the shape. They move quickly and appear to be walking, though I can't see any legs even with this lens. Could they be some sort of copepod?

If I can figure out a way to get a sample, I'll try looking under my microscope.

Thank you! I'll start my research now.

Look into dosing Dr. G's coral dip to your tank! I did it with absolutely no problems whatsoever and it knocked out my red bugs in hours, it's the same stuff as interceptor (red bug treatment) but doesn't require vet shopping to acquire.
