I did some searching, but was unable to find an answer...

I noticed 5-10 little white specs running around on one of my Acro's. I thought maybe red bugs, but they are not red. They move very quick, and are all white. I just bought the coral from my LFS about 1 week ago so I cannot tell if there are any ill effects on the coral yet. They look amost like tiny Copepods, but I only see them on my one SPS frag

I attempted to photograph the little bugs.

This is a purple coral with green polyps, The bugs look kinda like the polyps in this photo

Any ideas?

Redbugs actually look yellow with a red head. They are tiny, but you can barely make them out with the naked eye. If they move really fast, probably pods....
