Red Bugs!

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 had to take my pointer with a sore knee to 3 different vets before I found one that wasn't just out to maximize their cash...
Some great vets out there, but some real losers too.

I would do an iodine dip (Seachem & Tropic Marine both make good products for this) and see what comes off the corals. You may have red bugs but that is not your biggest problem if you have pieces die off in a few days. As Jason said it sounds more like AEFW.
