what a beautiful coral!! Where did you get that one!?! And do you happen to know what sp. it is?
Awesome!

I picked it upas a "tricolor acro" from a fellow reefer who was selling his tank. I don't think he was the source though, I think an ORA frag I picked up from a LFS introduced the bugs to my tank. I think I have more ics of the infestation on one of my computers, I'll ave to look around.

Interceptor DID kill the bugs though, only lost a few hermits but no shrimp were killed. My tank was just starting to come back right before Katrina hit us.

That's an awesome comparison reefdood! At least I'm not the only one that had a heavy infestation on a few corals. They remind me of fleas crawling around on a dog biting it. Sweet coral by the way.

Man, that colony realy infested. Mine never really got that bad, I would see around 8 to 10 on them. some times even less......I always keep my parameters steady, acros . always healthy.
Now since the addition of 3 possum wrasses I cant hardly see any.
Sorry guys I dont have any picture to show.
