awesome thank you very much, so i took out an affected coral and had a good look with magnifying glass and didnt see anything, im gonna still do dip anyhow but lets say it wasnt redbugs, what would cause coral to turn almost white in the middle,? the only thing i can think of is my mag was kinda low 1150ppm, which i guess would through alk and cal off aswell but they tested in range(elos). ill start with the dip and go from there.

AEFW isn't visible on the coral, they have AMAZING camouflage! Try a medicated dip and see if you can find AEFW. If it is not parasites, then husbandry and parameters would be the next culprit, although harder to pinpoint...

You should dip the coral separately for a few minutes shaking them while they are in the solution to knock the parasites off, then rinse them in another bucket of tank water to get as much medication off the coral as possible and then back into the tank. At least that is how I do it with Coral R/X

I did 10 min dips then put them in a bucket with tank water and blasted them with a MJ400 to knock anything off. But IF I go back to corals I will do a full QT on them, as the AEFW was a nightmare
