Red Bugs or AEFW

[amt68]

Noticed this on a frag last night. These are the best shots I have been able to get, hoping to get someone with experience to confirm the pest.

Thanks
Bob

with them under the tanks light do they look like red dots with maybey a super tiny yellow dot on them?

I really did not notice any yellow, but it's hard to say. The tank lights were off and I was using a flashlight. I'm leading to AEFW by the damage evident in the last pix.

those are not bitemarks just the tissue pattern on that particular coral, dip the coral in revive or something that kills aefw and see what they look like.

These marks at the base are not bite marks?

 

[john90009]

those most likely are, from your first two pics i didnt see any marks

Thanks John! I don't know why that first post did not show that image. I guess I have some work to do today.
