Crab larve, parasite? Acro specific pest?

Anyone? The colors are pretty true there. The bugs are bright pink.

They move pretty fast for their size, but not extremely so. They do not seem to be harming the frag either so far.

Do you have any other pictures? All I can see is a big purple blob approximately 1mm in width. If that is indeed it, then it's definitely NOT an acro red bug. Plus, I can't tell from the picture if that's actually an acro. If it isn't then that would be the best confirmation it's not a "red bug".

We need a much clearer and closer picture.
It's possible it could be a parasitic copepod or it could be a harmless amphipod.
How many eyes does it have if you can tell?
