Do you have Red Bugs?
 

Come on, be honest. :mrgreen:

I treated the tank for them last year and i have been keeping careful watch ever since :mrgreen:

I have been fairly lucky as far as pests go. No aiptasia or majano to date. No red bugs. No nudibranches or evil crabs.

no, thanks to your gift of Interceptor

I discovered I had them in January and treated the tank and I haven't seen any since. Your poll should have asked " have you ever had them?" as well.:wink: That said, there are worse things to have like the acro eating flatworms. YIKES!!! I now treat everything before I put it in my reef.

Treated for red bugs when I set up the new tank. Every acro that I have brought home from an aquarium store has had red bugs, so every one that goes into my tank gets a 12 hour Interceptor treatment.

Been there done that a couple of times. Treated earlier this year and currently red bug free.:biggrin:

I've had to treat some acros in QT, but haven't had them in my tank.

Do they only affect Acro's or other corals other than that? Thanks!

As far as I know they only affect smooth skin acros. I did read on RC once that someones monti's had them also, but I am not sure how much truth that holds.

And they seem to affect frags or smaller colonies more than larger ones. I found that if I had a frag that didn't have its polyps out for a longer period (say a week or more) I would take a closer look and sure enough, there they were. :twised:

UGH....nasty little things then eh? a good reason to Q any acros! Thank you!

When I had them they infested my M danae. They had webs on a bunch of corals. Sort of like marine "spider mites". I wish your poll would show who answered and how.:wink:

I answered "No". But, then.....I've never had Acros before. Or any SPS for that matter, so the numbers could be misleading....in a way.
Sorry. I, for one, should have ignored this poll.

Cheers,
