Now what about peroxide. I know you can't treat the whole tank, but using as a dip just like when cleaning off zoas. Not sure how it works on red bugs tho

Hi,

Is this a pest or just opportunistic bugs eating dead tissue?

Thanks

 

[TealCobra]

Hard to say but they resemble copepods. I would guess they are eating the dead tissues.

 

[Sullivan Martin]

Thanks for the reply!!

Well now its my turn LOl
I dipped them in 1000 mls of tank water with 300mls of peroxide for 8 minutes. You will no when they are dead because they turn white.

Damn pests

FWIW I have heard Sentinel will be D/C in the near future. The company that bought Sentinel (Virbac) is pushing the newer version with praziquantel in it. But the good news for reefers is that Interceptor is about to be re-released.

Can anyone tell me what this is and is it bad?!

It's been about 9-10 months since I treated the tank with the doctor gs and I still have no sign of redbugs. All corals seem to be healthy.
