red worms or aafw?

Please help me identify these on the dead frag? Are these aefw or red bugs?

I just purchased this frag last friday and after returning home from a 48 hour shift and it was bleched out and I found these on it.

All my frags have been placed in coral rx for 10 minutes prior to being placed in the display tank.

All other corals I purchased at the same time seem to be healthy with polyps extended. I cant see any of these on any other corals in the tank.

Thanks

Aefw will not kill an acro that fast it takes a while to kill a colonie, my guess is the frag rtn and then some bugs over took it.

I agree that aefw would not kill the frag that fast either. It was a freshly cut frag and glued to the plug the day prior to me buying it. Im assuming the fact it was fragged and placed into a new system was the cause of the RTN due to stress.

I have never had red bugs or aefw prior and that is my main concern. Im Just making sure what is on the rtn'd acro is not a concern for the rest of my tank.
