They certainly look like a red bug, but not THE red bug. Real red bugs look more like copepods, and these don't. The pics are pretty good. I've looked at red bugs through a dissecting scope and these are different, IMO.
However, I probably wouldn't add ANY red bug to my tank, so caution is good.
Don't have any interceptor around the house?
Also, red bugs only live on acros, so if none of your frags are acros, then you're safe from the typical red bug.
