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.

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,
