Which Acros do red bugs attack?

[xtm]

I have this smooth branching Acro that is full of red bugs but I also noticed that the millepora and digitata that are sitting right next to it are clean and bug-free.

Which acros do they prey on "in your experience"?

At this point I still don't know what to do with the infected colonies... since you can't get Interceptor without prescriptions anyways..


thanks

Normally they will only infest Acroporas not Montiporas, Stylophoras or Seriatoporas although lately they are starting to show up on some LPS corals like Euphylias, Torches and Ancoras.

some acros they don't even touch.
I guess each acro tastes different.

From what i've seen they start on the "smoother" acros, and tend to stay away (or hide better) on the "hairy" acros like millis, but I think they will infect any acro if there is no choice.

I've unfortunately had experience with them and I agree with the post above. They never touched Milli's or my Green Slimer. Most other acros tended to be effected. A. Valida's seem to be some of the most vulnerable.
