Red bugs infest acropora and not montipore normally. The red stuff might have been just dirt. If you remember who you bought it from, you can send the person a PM to see if he/she can tell what that red stuff might have been. Some people feed cyclopeeze to their tank with a turkey baster. I recall that someone used the same turkey baster to fill a bag and ended up causing a small commotion before.
It's always a good practice to observe your corals in a quarantine tank for a few days or at least dip your corals with some coral dip solution before you put it into your tank.
