half red bugs?

[dunk373]

i have noticed a few bugs that are half red and the other half is grey or tan like a copepod it is the same size as a copepod. also a bug like a copepod that has a butt with like two horns like an earwig any ideas what these are?

There are so many little copepod type creatures that fit your description. All anyone can do without a good picture is guess.

i havent had time to figure out how to post pics on here i hear of red bugs that are pests of corals i just hope these arent them. they are half red and half off white or grey for sure

just researched a little bit and a possibility they are pregnant copepods but from the pics i found the ones in my tank have a more pronounced red color
