Red bug?

[w2inc]

It is not red, the coral is still growing and producing slime. They move pretty fast. They dont look like the red bugs I have seen, but there are a few kinds. What do you think?

Look like copepods.

Look like isopod

I can see what looks like one eyeball and antenna. I don't want to sell frags until I either figure out what they are or eradicate them.

I took a chunk in to my Vet but he couldn't find any bugs on the frag I took in. He prescribed interceptor. I have a pair of banded pistol shrimp that live in the same hole with a goby that I am attached to as well as acropora crabs and fire shrimp that never step near a trap.

What would you do?

I’d put the inverts in a separate tank or even a Rubbermaid tub until treatment is completed

What about Acropora eating black bugs? There's a microscope image on Google that looks very similar to what's on your sps.

Thanks. There are so many different species. I think I am done trying to ID them and going to move toward trying to get my values inverts into another system so I can drug the tank. Anyone know how clams handle interceptor?

not that good, depending of the dosages.
