I belive that they are in the same family as Red Bugs.I think that the treatment is the same.Interceptor.

Maybe someone else will chime in.

Holey cow man that coral is LOADED with those things.

I managed to save both corals. The top video is an acro, and I think the pods were actually eating the flesh. The second is a purple rim green monti, and I felt it was gone but it is starting to come back.

is it just one one the monti, that black dot if so it looks like that. I have tryed interceptor this past weeked and they are still there. TRIGGERRAY how did you get rid of them?

 

[818reefer]

I only have like 3 or 4 of these bugs. weird thing is I don't see them when the lights are on also they don't really move when I do see them. I HATE KILLER CRITTERS.....

The monti had several bugs. When you play the video, click the full-screen tab.. they are real small.

 

[818reefer]

TRIGGERRAY are those videos taken when the lights are on. I don't think the bugs I have look like those the one I see are much smaller and don't really move. I really have a hard time to stare at them and see if they move. I assume they bugs because some are gone when I get home from work. Just today I looked at my stylo that has bleached on the top of the branchs I see little black dots they don't move though. I wonder if its some type of alge.

Any one else seen black bugs on there SPS?

I have black/gray bugs on my acros. Not sure if they are the same as in the video because the video have been deleted. Interceptor did not work, neither did lowering the temperature. I have found Bayer Complete works at at least triple dose for 30 minutes.
