![]() I used Milbemax (basically the same as interceptor, but for cats) I got it from my local vet, was only $6.00 per pill (I used 1 pill per 60 gal and it worked like a charm) If you can't find anything locally let me know, I am sure I can get some more.

![]() That is a silly thing to do. That may have been your only chance. It sounds like you have more than $340 in corals, so maybe it's not that bad of a deal. HOWEVER, I have been dealing with vets my entire life (for various animals), and have never heard of a vet that would cost $340 for a call fee, examination fee, and prescription for Interceptor. That seems a bit high, but not only by about $60-80. If I remember correctly, there are 12 pills in the box, and it costs about $80. I could be way off though.

![]() I'm with you Latino, a $340 grab for a $20 pill, I think I would have added an adverb, starting with an F to crazy.
As for the bugs, are they visible (have to look close but you can see them). |

![]() Just the house call cost 150 bucks cause he has to check it him self to see if I do have red bugs. Then he said since he does not deal with fish, prescribtion is 20 some dollars, and then he said after all that is done the pills will cost and the difference is for 3 treatment of interceptor.

![]() I have checked to see if I have flat worms and nothing. I have done research and the ones that do kill corals are red flat worms. And I have gone through every single rock and corals and even checking the sides of the tank to see if I do see anything and nothing. All I go to see were those red buggers.

Red flatworms get up to maybe 3mm in size and do most of their damage by simply reproducing in such numbers that they begin to cover ever visible surface of the tank. Red flatworms will mostly cover your sand bed, but spread up all over everything eventually. They don't target coral specifically. Red Bugs are easily visible if your eyes are decent. They move around relatively quickly..maybe about the size of a pin-head. The "red" I've seen tends to look kind of orange color and is really their back ends. http://www.melevsreef.com/redbugs.html Flatworms require very different treatment than red bugs. You need to figure out which you have before you start dosing your tank with stuff.

![]() From what you said I'm gonna have to agree with everyone on here that it sounds a lot more like aefw then red bugs causing the problem.
