All my Acros look fine. Non of them have died or anything. Please someone help me who's dealt with this before.

Like mentioned by others the best option would be a tank treatment with interceptor. It's a medicine prescribed for dogs so you will have to find a vet to get you a prescription. Do a search on here you should find plenty of info. Good luck!

You have to get interceptor, theres some videos on youtube (i think mr saltwater tank or reefer gil) to show you. Theres tons and tons of info on red bugs, i had a bad outbreak of them last year. Before i could even buy the interceptor my girlfriend came home with 2 Mandarins and a six line that decimated them almost overnight, Now it might not work for you but it did for me. You have to get a script from the vet, its good to have on hand

The old interceptor was a pill that you could crush with a spoon in a bowl and when totally crushed to powder you mix it with salt water and add in a fast flowing current to your tank.
The new chewable tablets are a bit tricky but not impossible to do the same.

Thanks my friend.
In the past I used a marbled Damsel or a Yellow Tail Damsel any Leopard Wrasse will go after them too.

Well I dipped all the Acros yesterday in coral rx pro and today it doesn't look like there's any red bugs on them as far as I can see.

See you are from Modesto also. Found any good fish stores or online vendors? Driving to Dublin a huge pain. Thanks
