Red bugs

I've heard the talks about red bugs, and it seems like a have a few. My question is, if I don't have any sps, will they effect anything else??

Are you sure they are red bugs? They may be flatworms. Check ID.

Yeah, if you dont have sps I dont think you can have red bugs. I might be wrong but they are probably some type of pod. I have some that look red but hang out around this mushroom coral all day hiding from my mandarin pair.

Okay, thanks for imput, but after seeing some pics I think theyr red bugs, the reason I"m saying that is because it came on a frag someone gave me that melted in a couple days, but the rock appears to have the bugs.
