HELP Montipora is being eaten.

[lolgranny]

So i came home the other night and my monti cap look like it has brownish / black bugs coming from it. Ive dipped it 3x's in the past 2days and they are still swarming the piece. I have about 4 other monti caps in there and i took them all out as well and dipped them. I havent added anything to my tank in months. All of my parameters are in check, so im lost at what to do. The cap is about 2"x2" should i just take it out and toss it because i dont want them moving to my other caps?

might want to post a pic so others can better help you. taking the cap out wont really solve the problem the problem might have already spread and you just dont know it. search monti eating Nudibranchs and see if that is what you have. best of luck

Its definatly not nudis

You too eh? I have the same problem. It is some sort of amphipod. I am going to try interceptor if I can.
