I got some new tweezers and forgot to dry them of once, so now they are rusty, it’s only really a few spots here and there. I was wondering if anyone has any good ways of getting it of or would I just be able to put it in the tank with the rust on ?

I use mine with rust spots but it's not necessarily the best idea. I usually wipe them real good with a paper towel before using them in the tank to remove any surface rust first. Also, iron isn't bad for your tank in low doses - it's actually useful for some corals.
