Brad, you could be correct on that not sure. But will tell you that the first piece I got with bugs on them no longer have a healthy population of the bugs and are a couple of my favorite peices. These corals never reinfested to original populations. I do have a couple pieces that do have heavy populations of the bugs but yet are still very colorful. I have never to my knowledge lost a single coral to these bugs and I have had them for well over a year. Perhaps oppurtunistic is not the correct word to use here. But again feel if a coral is less then happy and am geussing producing something or not producing something to protect the coral or just plain weaker these are the coral were the bugs collect. I think one of the common things on RC threads about the bugs are they never noticed them until x coral wasn't looking so good there for they took a closer lookand noticed the bugs. But is it safe to say thats the problem or was it another problem that made them notice the bugs?
