Noticed these guys for the first time tonight. They are in my refugium. I cant find any in the display but im sure they would be there too if they are down in the sump. They are little red specs that move around. Some of them seem to be one cell, others seem to be two cells. Any idea??

Looks like a copepod.

That picture doesn't remind me of anything. Are they red, orange, or pink to your eye?

they are a red to my eyes, there are hundreds of them on the wall in my refugium. I would say they are 0.5-1mm or so in size and can move around pretty quick (an inch or so in 4 or 5 seconds)

ideas? I researched flatworms and red bugs but I dont believe it to be either of those. I cant find ANY in the display, on any corals, on the glass, nowhere. Coincidently, I have a sixline and a yellow corris wrasse in QT, if it is one of them, they should take care of it..... :)
