I have tons of F. Ricordeas. I noticed some are melting away and dying. Upon closed examination I saw little grain sized bugs all around them. I took a sample and looked under a microscope. See pic attached. It might be hard to tell but the look like a jelly bean and move in a spiral motion. They look to have eggs in them, the little black dots. At first I thought they were maybe feeding off the dying rics but upon further study they seem to be embedding into the rics. If you look close at a ric that is dying there are thousands of them. Any info would be great!!
