Do you have Red Bugs?

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

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.

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.

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,
