I have 2-3 frags that seem to have some tissue retreat and around the edges of the dying area I noticed tiny smaller than pin size bugs, like a grain of sand scurrying about, are these normally found on decaying matter or the cause? Bright white not flat but round raised and the size of a grain of sand anybody seen these?:(

Sounds like harmless pods to me.They feed on the algae starting to grow on the dead skeleton.

Are they montis or acros. I only ask because I have seen a similar bug on montis that looks exactly like a red bug, but it is white.
