Acro pests?

What other Acro pests are out there other than acro eatin nudis and red bugs? It seems like I have some sort of tiny brown bugs on my acro that seem to be eating away at it, not enough to kill it, but enough to brown it out and see bite marks everywhere... they seem to be smaller than redbugs as well.. These guys are not red bugs for sure because I've had them in the past (differet tank) and know what they look like.
 
Hi Moses, good to see that you are still reefkeeping.

as for these bugs, as you say the two common ones are redbugs and AEFW's, as well as Monti eating nudis.

That doesnt mean there are no others. Maybe get hold of some Interceptor to see if you can kill these things. Killing off Redbugs with Interceptor is easy.

Haha, yup! I'm already iching for an upgrade even though I just upgraded only a year ago! haha :)

I can't seem to get any interceptor from my area.. :(


If you are seeing bite marks then it's most likely AEFW.

It's not AEFW because I can see little brown bugs crawling allover the coral.. However, none of my other acros are effected by these bugs or are they on any other acros of mine.. They are just on my purple bonsi acro..
