I'm curious if anybody here has ever had pests on their sps corals that almost glow green/orange under blue lights. Unfortunately I do not have a pic of one yet because my iphone won't focus on it lol. Doing research it looks like it could possibly be red bugs, but I haven't found one yet that's actually moving around which red bugs generally do right? The few I have found have been stationary on the flesh of acros and attached pretty good when I blow them with a baster.
 
Dip an affected coral in KCl at 10 g/L tank water for 5 minutes and look at what dies under a microscope. Red bugs look like this:
