pod sized bug with red body

[Mike N]

I siphoned sand from my aquarium and kept a sample in tupperware to observe. Today I see a bunch of pods in there and there is one pod-sized bug with a red body moving around amongst the pods. Can't get a clear picture, but is there something that comes to mind?

Really need to see a pic...is it all red or just have a little red butt...hope it's not redbugs

...but without a pic that's a blind and hopefully wrong guess.

Doesn't look like redbugs, there is no yellow and more of the body is red, like 80%. Sample came from a tank that cycled about 2-3 weeks ago, no fish or corals yet. I'd like to get in front of any issues before adding anything.
