I'm calling drfosterSmith in the morning for the interceptor. I hope they don't beef with me over it, because I don't have a dog.

Never used interceptor, but is this the stuff? If so you can buy it right there.

I tried to buy it there but I needed a vet confirmation to purchase it.

Just spoke to drfoster and smith they said I need my vet to look at my corals to buy the interceptor.

I went to a local vet, and they gave me the big hell to the no on the prescription.

Any Reefer vets out there that can help me.

Looks like A. Rosaria to me.

I'd be curious if you have other acros in the tank that are going through the same color issues. Also, it seems to be very well encrusted, is this growth you've experienced with it since you've owned it?

I guess what I'm trying to get at is that it seems to be more of an environmentally-driven change (some tank parameters may have changed or even a new bulb) rather tha red bugs. It may be a little tough to judge from a photo, but I don't see any tissue receding as would be the case with redbugs, just what would seem to be bleaching. Though I agree iwth the observation that they seem to be present at first glance.

The coral doesn't seem like it is bleaching, it is growing and the polyps come out at night. I always noticed some orange stuff on my corals but never paid it any mind. The red bugs seems to only like this frag.
