You can Google ‘reef red bug pics’ to see. May not be what you have, but worth checking.

Do you have any Acropora? You can see if they are concentrated there for a clue on what they feed on

There's tons of different types of "pods."

Did you put any pods in your tank? Did you just get real LR? When’s the last time you put something in your tank?

Hi there,well seems if been in your tank 2 months and see no adverse affects then maybe safe.

Plus be helpful for the more experienced reefers to know if image zoomed in or not.

And I'm just thinking that old expression "you are what you eat" and seems they eating something reddish ( outlined) and they got same colour inside them.just like zoa eating nudis normally turn colour of zoa they eating
