Brown little flecks in the water...

[Bemmer]

I was tranfering some of my stony corals from my 3 year old 120g reef tank to my new reef tank. I did a full two hour acclimation. After pulling one of the corals out of the acclimation bucket I noticed very very small brown little flecks. I am afraid they may have been some kind of "bad thingy". I did a Reef dip with Seachem's Coral disinfectant before putting the corals in the new tank.

Any idea what the brown flecks are? They are elongated in shape kind of like a piece of rice only much much smaller and thinner.

Thanks for your thoughts. BTW, I don't know what red bugs look like.

Did they look anything like the FWs in the 2nd, 3rd, 4th pics on this thread? Thread

No, they don't look like red dots. They are elongated brown very small "flecks".

OMG, That thread is terrifying. The brown flecks did not move, at least that I could see with the naked eye. And mine were straight. No bends or squiggles as what was decribed in the photos. I hope and pray I did not introduce red bugs/flatworms into my new system.
