Thanks ! I thinks its time we had a thread with pictures of these pest for everyone to look at . I mean what better way is there to get a positive id . Especially since I hope there will be many more pictures added which will give a wider range of examples of infection.

Now if we can get Marc's nice pics over here with the others it valuable resource for people. Especially if the thread becomes a sticky that doesn't get stuck in the other stickys. I think it would get alot of viewing and limit are these redbugs,monti nudis,AEFW's ect threads.

No cilia on flatworms. But I'm sure it's up to no good. You find inverts that small on things they eat, or with things they eat. Either it's eating flatworms, or it's eating acros.

In free-living turbellarians, epidermal cells are ciliated. Larger ones may also use body musculature to undulate, allowing them to creep or swim. All these bastages have cilia.

That's one of those pics that gave me nightmares.

 

[clkwrk]

Come on where are the monti nudi pics

 

[fishcraze2002]

never heard of the sea spiders! Are they the tiny little brittle stars hiding inthe rocks on in the sump..??
and how do the sea spider attach the sps? do they just eat the sps up slowly?

I found a colony which had all of the ones I showed in the pictures plus more ......I ended up tossing the whole colony into the trash . I seen these guys a few months earlier on my blue zoo's which I had one left by the time it was over. The prey on many types of coral I just happen to find them on a colony and they had eggs and all . I wish I would have taken a picture of that but its hard to take a picture of a once beautiful colony when its 3/4 dead.

Also I would say they are harder to spot than RB'S or flatworms and the damage looks just like recession /STN

[clkwrk]

Teddybear crab!

 

[menard]

Big Blk. Gorrilla crab.

Beware this crab will munch on fresh growth. acros. and montis.
They are criptic, feeds at night when everyones sleeps.
So, if U see your Acros missing growth tips or Montis. edges are munch out, U have this crab in your system.
