Flash pics of some acros

nova65ss · May 18, 2013

My Hawkins had some goo all over it this morning I took a flash pic and it is fine. Something must of spawned in my tank and it got caught up in the Hawkins I guess. Anyway after looking at the pic I took a few more of some of my corals. I only used my phone but I thought they were prety cool anyway! All of the lights were off when I took them.

Really? Bothing really has hindered it growth. How can you tell?

Little dots near the axial corallite, color that is off, poor polyp extension (partial in your case), thin tissue. Interceptor if you can find a vet to prescribe it.

john90009 · Jun 30, 2013

there nothing to freak out about- they wont kill a coral like aefw will and are more easily taken care of. us as stick heads have gone through them many times- interceptor if they still make it( I was reading somewhere that they may have stopped making it) will take care of them but may disorient or kill shrimps in your tank.

Well just looked over all of them really good and didn't see a thing! What are some tricks for finding them?

nova65ss · Jun 30, 2013

If you zoom in on your first two pics you can see the yellow speck with the black/ red dot that is them. First pic almost dead center.

Like mentioned not a huge deal but can aggravate acros if they get out of control. If you can find some interceptor it works like a champ tough part may be finding the interceptor nowadays.

Thanks for the help. Think I found some! Would a regular coral dip with all the acros work? Will they affect montiporas?

You can use a Bayer dip if you don't want to do the whole tank.

Yes and if you only have a couple of acros that are easy to take out interceptor may not be needed. Just take them out and dip like once a week until you no longer see them. The bayer like mentioned is a good dip as well just be sure to rinse them well in fresh saltwater before returning to the tank. Good luck.
