Hi Reefers. I’m after some help as I’m really unsure as to what I’m dealing with here

I noticed one of my Acro’s is struggling and spent some time studying it. After a while, I noticed some very small black dots that moved ever so slowly. Only a couple but I’ve seen them on the stick now for the last 2 days. There almost invisible to the naked eye.

I’ve tried to take the best picture I possibly can and so please take a look. I’ve pulled the frag out and re-dipped it. There was a lot more of the black bugs on the frag plug.

Are these black bugs/red bugs and can only be killed with Interceptor or are they something else?

I’m in the UK and we don’t have Interceptor so other recommendations would be useful.
Any help appreciated.

Many thanks and stay safe

Here’s another photo that show one of the bugs a bit more clearly
