Nothing like a few pages of this thread to make me feel like my tank is full of boring inadequate corals.

looks great! the whole tank looks full of large, healthy colonies. ( despite the red bugs and possibly even flatworms. )
 
It is a very nice tank, but you dont see the red bugs all over the 3rd pic, and possible- hard to tell, flat worm bite marks on the underside of the second to last pic. Look at the top portion of that particular pic, under the branch
 
when you have experience with those things, unfortunately they jump out at you. I have seen them little red dots way too many times
 
Yes, presence of both pests in those photos unfortunately. But some people have successfully lived with both long term.

Yes, the red bugs don't bother me and eventually I will treat for them when I'm willing to possibly sacrifice my cleaner shrimp and few crabs in the tank. The AEFW's are something I'm going to have to live with until I'm ready to break the tank down for a reaquascape. Too many of my colonies are encrusted and I'm happy with the way things are . Every couple weeks I break out the turkey baster and blow off a few of the colonies they inhabit and favor. I typically only find 6-10 AEFW's tank wide. I have four wrasse's and two angels that are constantly scouring the tank and I'm pretty sure that helps with the spread of them. My corals are colorful and growing like weeds so I'm leaving things alone at this point.
