Small organisms on acropora tenuis?

[Andyf30]

Hi everyone,

Trying to avoid a small heart attack here. Noticed tonight one of my tenuis had small black organisms on it. They don’t appear to my eye to look like any AEFW, black bug, or red bug I have ever seen online or in person. Additionally, the acro in question has been growing along with normal PE the whole time and no others seem affected. You can see the tissue, there aren’t bite marks. It is healthy and full. Any ideas? Tried to get as close as I can with a macro lense and a zoomed in screenshot

Can you pull it out and dip that frag in bayer?

I pulled it out and dipped in a double dose of revive. Some stuff fell off but nothing that resembled black or red bugs (never had black bigs but had red bugs in my previous system years ago)

Do you have images under white light (ex. with a flashlight)?

Only bayer works on red bugs. I recommend trying that. Revive does nothing for them.
