    Yep....confirmed....

    Treatment starts tonight.

    These are really small compared to the other time I had them...

    Well I have to mentally prepare for coral brown out and then recovery

    It is too funny that your picture quality has gotten so good that pest infestation can be diagnosed over the internet... Sucks that you have them, but just imagine how much better everything will look once they are gone!!! If better is even possible. :p

    Why not watch and see if the red bug population actually escalates to the point where you NEED to treat?

    My reasoning is that your corals look good, even if there ARE a few red bugs. Maybe they've been there for a while and treating may do more harm than good. I'm not talking about waiting for things to die, just watch and see if you see more of them over time or if they remain relatively static...

    I actually took over 70 close ups of every sps in my tank last night and could not find on bug.....

    I took the coral above out last night and treated it with interceptor in a container at 20x dosage and returned it to the tank 5 hrs later...

    I know what we see but in 70 photos blown up on my screen I didnt see one sign of a bug....so I am going to keep doing photos and monitor this before I treat...

    Here is a cool photo that ook place while I was shooting the corals....

    Stay tuned
