Is this red bug?

[dragonfisher33]

Like the title said, I can’t for the life of me ID what this guy is. Looks like copepods but either entirely red or red body and sometimes with black dot at the tail end

Not copepods.

Bump. Anyone?

Probably some isopod, but I am not sure about the specifics. Both beneficial and pest isopods make their way the hobby.

I tried to use interceptor to Kill it but they always seem to bounce back.

do you know any other way?

I think it's an isopod too, from the shape and the movement, but I haven't seen one like it before and it's not terribly in focus. How big is it in person?

Also do you have anything red in your tank, or perhaps red fish where you can find one? A lot of creatures try to look like what they prey on for camouflage, so it's worth checking to see if there are others.

Munnidae it’s a copepod. Could be wrong. http://www.wetwebmedia.com/Arthropoda/CrustaceanPIX/Isopod PIX/Isopods[1]crop.jpg

Munnidae is actually a family of isopods and the linked photo refers to its subject as an isopod.
Personally, I am beginning to believe the isopod in the linked photo as well as those in OP’s videos belong to the family, Serolidae. These isopods are harmless.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT ANY INFO APPRECIATED VERY MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!!

So probably about maybe 8/9 months back I had ordered a bunch of torch corals from a wholesaler in Kansas City (aquariums wholesale) they sent me out a few torches I won in an online auction through their FB page. When I received them they all seemed to be in good shape. Not long after I ran...

Not red bug but looks like Ostrocod which is flea like and often called grass shrimp.

I think you meant seed shrimp, not grass shrimp.
"Grass shrimp" generally refers to the genus Palaemonetes, including many freshwater and marine species popular in the trade.

Are they anything I should be concerned with? I have a 6 line wrasse. Will my wrasse eat those things? Will they overpopulate .. thanks for the response everyone. I appreciate it.

wrasse and sailfin mollies should eat them. Theyre actually beneficial cleaners for the sand bed and overall system
