Ok ever one I got home from work to answer was looking at my tank seeing how everything was looking, I seen some black bugs on my glass down by the sand bed so I downloaded a magnifying glass on my phone and this is what I came up with the are little red bugs here is a pictures of them I did look at all my sps corals and I did not see anything on any of them is this something I should be worried about?

Hmm, not clear enough to make a determination. FYI, the acropora "Red Bugs" are typically all yellow with a tiny spot of red. Also, you don't find them away from acros if you have them. It's probably just normal bugs in the system, but see if you can get a better pic.
 
how long has the tank been setup?
those bugs dont look like bugs... are they moving? looks like coralline algae and regular tank algae to me

The tank had been up and running just under a year now, they do move and they are kinda fast when moving
