There are a few photomicrographs of the red bugs on the web. LordNikon's mites description is more than sufficient for a verbal one.

I took some photos yesterday, they give a pretty good idea of what they look like....

My drugs are on the way to treat.

HOpe that helps, I couldnt find any good idea of what they looked like either, so I posted these photos to get the "yep, yer hosed" answer

They dont seem to be deadly, ive heard that they slow down the growth...see my burnt red Acro doesnt have these guys but my blue tipped Acro does? both of my acros are frags and actually i had to break off a piece the other day due to some bleaching..(it fell on my bubble coral and sat there all day..needless to say it was stung heavily in that are causing it to die off)...my blue tip has growth and my burnt red is fairly new so im not too sure on what the true effects are to these red acro bugs...
