I've noticed small red dots on an acro I have, my question is, do the red bugs only eat acros or other corals as well. I can post some pics but good luck on making them out since its a phone camera atm. I have had one acro lose most of his base and he is purple so I thought maybe it was the light and upgraded. The other is green and is the first time I have seen the red spots. They are not flatworms due to how they move imo. Ill post some bad pics soon
 
The two red dots are twards the upper mid section

The pic with the one that is green was taken around the time I got him so its not on the lower end of the spectrum of color with the light
 
If it is indeed red bugs, then yes, they only feed on acropora so any monti, Stylo, porci would not be infested.
 
Thats good to know, I have a monti with 2 stylos and some Pocillopras. What should I dip the acros in? I do enjoy them and want anything in my tank to live.
