They are hard to spot but are noticeable if you look really really closely.
My tank is Red Bug free as I got some acros from that source just before i treated my tank anyways..

Default inevitable
IMO red bugs are inevitable in this hobby if you have any acros. They will always come back in 3/4/6/8 months. Its probably best to just treat on a regular schedule. I am going to treat every 2 months from herein and my tanks are now void of hermits and shrimps.... not because I don't like the inverts but my investment in acros have been a lot higher than the inverts. Every 2 months might be a little extreme but after seeing the difference in the before and after effects on many of my acros, I believe its probably the best route to take.

Ok I will have to have someone look at my tank because I just looked again and I see no red bugs. Either I got lucky and didn't get any or I am blind

The only treatment they've come up with so far is interceptor, a dog heartworm medicine that is available by prescription through a veterinarian
