Doesthis look like RB to you?

[bobssecrtsn]

So I have seen Red bugs before, Yellow with the red butt, and i can tell if they're on a Acropora or not but does this look like red bugs to you? or just an iso pod?

I did dip the frag in Bayer, actually i overdosed it and that little bugger still did not detached itself, left it in there for 10 minutes! i just dont want to risk it

I edited the picture and circled it!

Those just look like developing polyps too me

Place the frag in a clear round drinking glass of tank water. This makes it appear magnified. Helps you see it better.

Are these dots you are circling moving around? Were they before you dipped it?

To hard to tell from the pic.

 

[bobssecrtsn]

Yes they move really fast. im not sure how fast RB moves but they move like pods..

 

[REEF SMAC]

Red bugs pretty much are pods.

They zip around pretty much the same way.

Red bugs have a very definitive red butt and are yellow. They show up pretty well with a magnifying glass. I had some interesting fleshy/white colored bugs skittering all over a coral a few months back, same size as the red bugs. The coral was not bothered at all and over time as I kept my eye on them they disappeared. They were not on any other corals. Is the coral looking bothered?

I can't say, acouple weeks ago I had a bad gfo incident which caused acouple of my sps to loose polyps, like this acro the polyps hasn't been out for weeks but closely upon inspecting this coral for weeks I found this crawling around it. I'm most definite that this isn't red bugs as I put it under a magnifying glass I can't explain what it is.

I've seen some kind of black bugs on acros 2 times...
not sure what they were exactly but the 2 times the coral looked irritated... more than with red bugs...
interceptor did the trick...

here's a start to look at :
