some kind of black mite?

[reefguy22]

Can any ID this guy? I have found a few of them crawling on pieces of rock, frag plugs, and even on some zoathids. From what I understand most marine mites feed on algae. Any of the zoathids that I see them on do not seem to be stressed.

TIA

By the looks, seems like it might be an algae eater.
But I'm really not sure.
Keep an eye for sure, and always dip

I suspect black bugs but would determine better with pictures of bugs themselves.
If black bugs - very hard to battle and interceptor dog pills are best defense although ive had luck with coralRX

Here's a site to compare to see if they are black bugs.
