Thats what I thought....

should I ditch the coral?
I have not noyiced them until today...I have been taking close ups a lot recently also.

I noticed 1 or 2 of the branches were fading a bit this afternoon..
are my other corals most likely to have them?

this is a new coral 2 weeks old

thanks for any adice in advance....

"should I ditch the coral?"

lol, you are planning to ditch the others too

if they are on one, is very very likely they are on others

treat the tank, and watch for inverts they might get hit,

RED BUGS. Time to get the interceptor out.

Holy cow!! That picture makes me itch.

Treat with Interceptor, IMO. Good chance the rest of the tank can be infected or atleast some other SPS. Not worth throwing out $100's of corals... just treat the tank.

good advice peeps...

 

[petermai]

do red bugs move around or do they stay fairly still?

 

[Rays]

They move around.

That's some serious photography skills you have there!! (Hey, I'm an optimist, what can I say??)
