Are these red bugs? They are only on this smooth skin acro. They are purely red in coloration. I know red bugs are usually yellow with a red end.

Yup I spy RB.
 
I do not see any yellow coloration to them. Which is why I am asking different opinions. I am leaning towards red bugs also. They do not look like AEFW (acro eating flatworms) to me at all. Definitely more "bug" shaped and in their movements. Thanks for the opinions!
 
If you can turn down the blue lighting or use an orange filter on your camera, you might get a better view. Here's a macro video I shot of my red bugs to give you a better idea of what to look for. They will look like tiny yellow or orange fleas crawling around.

Thanks! I think after watching your video it is safe to assume they are red bugs. I begin treatment now!
