Tiny red bugs on sand?

[vdubers]

Hi added my first corals and clean up crew over the weekend.

This morning I have found these tiny red bug things on my sand.

Are they something I should be worried about or looking to get rid of? Or fine to just leave them alone and hope my fish eat them?

I only have two small clowns and a royal gramma in the tank at the mo and it’s 300l so maybe they just haven’t been found yet?

thanks

Hard to tell but those look like amphipods.

Thanks for your reply. Sorry for the crappy picture I did try to post a video that was clearer but not sure it worked. This is a pic zoomed in.

While it's still a bit blurry, they look like flatworms to me.

Sorry they seem to have disappeared or gone into the sand now so I can’t get a new pic. They weren’t flat they looked almost like tiny red long shrimp with little legs at the front and even seemed to be attacking each other! But also did go into the sand and poked their head out. They were scavenging amongst the sand.

Kinda hard to tell from the blurry picture, but it looks like amphipods.

Thanks for the replies let’s hope it is Amphipods and not flatworms!

It looks like Amphipods to me as well, as does your description.
