Well, the chromis has been in the 5g test tank with the three mystery bugs for over a week now. No sign of infestation. Still not convinced these bugs are non-parasitic, though.

Sent the photos to the folks at wetwebmedia for ID. They couldn't tell me if they were parasites, either. However, they did mention a prolonged fallow period of 4-6 months in the event they, or their young offspring, turn out to be parasites. During this fallow period, the tank should not be fed any meaty foods. Dang, and I have been feeding mysis and other frozen meaty foods for the past 3 weeks

Would like opinions of what I could feed the tank instead. Some of my suggestions are nori, dulce, or plain old lettuce that has been previously soaked in SW to remove any pesticides. I also have Selco and Selcon that I am no longer using which I could feed the tank with. I'm sort of thinking the HUFAs in the Selco/Selcon would be enough "meat" for the parasites to live off, but am not sure.

Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. TIA
