That's a very bad quality picture. very hard to see.
But from the second pictures, they look like AEFW.
It is not that bad to eradicate them from your tank.
But you need to take all of your corals out and dip them for 6-8 weeks (Once a week) in Bayer

I have put my picture on facebook , the quality is better ... now you will able to tell me if I paranoids or I have pest , if is not just copepods polyps necrosis tissus..

 

[bobssecrtsn]

I believe you have a combination of both, Red bugs and as well as AFEW. second picture you can see the specimen on the bottom right corner, and on the acro, you can see multiple red bugs on the underside. I cannot tell if those are marks or receding polyps, but there is something defineitly there!

 

[abrotanoides]

i'm sure to have something because I see the little bugs maybe ..juste some copepod or a one of de 4600 kinds of pods ... the red bug is suppose to be in the upper part of the coral and I see nothing in the top of my coral ...someone tell me: red bug attack smooth skin coral , like deep water or valida ... but my deep water and my valida are beautiful, and they look free pest on it ... i see nothing .... I have do a DIP for my pink millepora , I have not seen AEFW is why I think is receding polyps like you said bobssecrtsn. I will keep an open eyes on receding polyps ( or maybe AEFW bite mark) if I take many picture in the next week, I will be able to tell if the coral get new mark or not. For the unknow tiny bug 2 dragonface pipefish will be added to my tank to cotroling maybe irradicated this bug

I see no evidence of anything out of the ordinary. Those markings on the bottom of the acro are coralite/polyps... which are always much less developed in shaded areas. There are definitely no bite marks. And red bugs glow when a flash is used to photograph. Those dark spots are just small polyps.

That's not so say you don't have either or both, I just don't see any evidence in the pictures.
