This was my first guess too.
Check it at night with red (less visible for marine life) light to see what is going on there. also might be small snails feding on the mantle, common parasite.

They are likely pods or mysis and not a problem. What colour are they? Red bugs generally stay on sps, acropora in particular although I have seen them on montipora danae as well and are an amber colour with a dark red head and usually smaller than a spider mite.
