black dots on monti caps

[Dorado13]

My caps haven't been opening up as much lately and I have noticed some tiny little black dots on them, too small to tell what they are. They don't look like nudibranches, and when i go to pick them up with the tweezers, they hop around. Anyone know what these are? I'm starting to see some bleached out patches.

bad news!!!! i had the same thing on my digis and caps. little to no PE. i nuked the tank for red bugs with intersepter and killed off those black dots. everything is back to normal.

Check in clkwrk on his acro spiders. Perhaps they are the culprit.
