Redbugs?

[Texreefer]

Just curious,, i have lots of little bugs crawling on my glass. hard to tell exactly what color they are. light redish-orange to yellow. they move fairly quick and are very tiny. if they are redbugs i am assuming they don't need to be around sps to proliferate because i have no sps yet can't get pics bacause they won't show up in pic. anyone have any info and are there natural predators for them because i will put no chemicals in my tank

Depending on how fast they move, they could be flatworms. I find it very hard to see redbugs on SPS even when the pictures are blown up.

i have had plenty of experience with flatworms,, these are not flatworms.. they are about half the size of a small grain of sand

they may be another type of copapod or amphipod. there are many species of both that are similar in appearance to the acro parasitic ones. sometimes these copycats live on acros and sometimes they dont.

just curious because i'm about to start stuffing my reef with Acros ;) ;)
