Hey everyone!
I found these bugs in my little Lagoon 25. I have them in my 120 SPS tank as well, but never seem to be any issues. They look a little red here and there but mostly black. I’ve also inspected all of my Acropora heavily with no signs of anything on them.

Anyways these are on the bottom of my Frag tiles in my Lagoon 25. My Pearlberry tester frag is brown with a green tint to it, however I’m believing it’s the Kessil 360 and new tank combined. The Colony is growing and looks great in my 120.

I feel these are too big to be Red Bugs, however I would like some personal opinions from you guys and the #reefsquad.

Doesn't look like red bugs to me. I've never seen them on anything but acros... prob some other type of pod. Red bugs are really tiny. You should be able to see them moving on the base of your acros if you had them, use a magnifying glass if your not sure.
 
Not sure what those are but the pic is poor quality and they are tiny. Red bugs and black bugs will only be on sps corals and mainly acropora. Not red bugs for sure.
