Bugs

I just noticed that my Acros wasnt looking to happy.The polyps werent opening up like that had been.I got my magnifing glass and found a couple of red bugs on my Purple Tip and Rose.
Well I went searching for a way to treat em and came up empty handed.So if anybody has any ideas I would sure appreciate it.

Re: Bugs

Their way to small for me to get a pic of em.I barely could see them even with the magnifing glass.

But here the link I used to ID em.

Re: Bugs

Wow,sorry to here that yote and I thought my zoo eating nudibranches were bad.I've also read on RC that Intercepter from the vet is the only cure and is a pain to adminster.Since its a pod,I'll try one or two of the possible fish Melev recommends....certain Wrasse,Mandarin,Clowns,Seahorses and Pipefishes.I go for the Mandarin first though.Good luck.

Re: Bugs

Thanks for the input guys.
Im trying not to have to use the Intercepter.Thats going to be a last resort.
I already have a sixline,so I guess im gonna get a mandrian as soon as I can catch a good healthy one at the store,thats eatting frozen foods.

Shoot,Im about to get to the point where I'd be happy with aiptasia's.At least they would be easier to take care of.
