What are you saying Kien, that I have Nuts with bugs? I had
Red bugs early on in my build, but did 3 whole tank interceptor treatments and killed Everything including a couple of my beloved acro crabs. Haven't had any since. I just did a thorough check.

It's not that bad Brett, like Tony says, interceptor and they're gone.

I haven't added any sps since my batch from Dez which I think was a couple months ago so I *guess* I've had these all along. No sense naming names now I just need to sort out what I'm going to do about it. I have a lead on some interceptor so I'll have to do some reasearch.

I watch my corals like a hawk (for growth and because I'm a nerd) so it's nuts that they could have survived this long unseen by me.

Any change red bugs can come from non-sps? Couldn't their eggs be laid on some rock or whatever from other corals and get in that way? I'm just curious. Doesn't matter now I just need to make a decision here.

Does everyone here treat every last piece of sps with interceptor? Considering it's the only fix and it's hard to get I find that tough to believe...

What's funny is I'm a lazy reefer. Don't quarantine and have never dipped any coral. Just yesterday I bought and used some dip treatment on some new zoas I had gotten.

[lastlight]

I just inspected that coral again and polyps are now out and i can't see any bugs and I looked hard. This leads me to believe I've had them all along...that it is possible I've missed them. This coral is growing very fast too.

I'm going to still try and get some interceptor for future dips but doubt I'm going to treat the tank right now. I'll watch this coral and the tank as a whole and see. Growth and coloration has been great especially lately. I didn't have plans to add more sps either. I was into phase 2 which was lps and zoas.

At any rate cat's out of the bag isn't it? My tank is SICK =)

Some new pics. First some of the acans I already had from Greg:







Duncans from Greg. Already have 2 new heads on this side...no idea about other side.



New zoas. I added lots more but they either melted away or the one or two polyps left didn't photo well.





Love my Clash of the Titans Favia from Greg:





Some new acans I picked up from him last night as well as a tiny little piece of his green-polyp toadstool. I was over pretty late and saw his night-time lighting over his toadstool. The thing GLOWS.







Some new fishies:





My boy Cole:



That little frag I plastered to my overflow is liking life:

Thanks it's a Nikon D80 with a kit lens. I need to borrow a macro lens again so I can take some nicer ones.
