Hehe I just figured out your PM.
Yes a prostrata is actually Acropora prostrata.
Webs between branches doesn't necessarily mean redbugs. If you look at one of your "browner" corals its easiest to see the bugs as little glistening yellowy bits (my best description) or on a lighter coral you can see them fairly easily towards the tips of the coral. You could even reach in the tank and bring a frag to the glass to see them (if you don't have them all nailed down). Personally I would take out all the hard corals and treat them, you never know what they might harbor.
