I am dipping it but I still see the little white bugs crawling around on it and it has been in the dip for almost 30 minutes.

thats too long you'll kill the coral.
What dip is is.
 
They are tiny and they move. I used seachem reef dip. It said 15-30 minutes. Should I use interceptor? I've read some things on that but it seems scary lol

Gonna need a lil better description.
Could be cope pods. Flat worms isipods spiders etc.
did you look at the bug link for a match.
 
Are you sure it's not the tiny dot like centers of the waminoa flatworm? It's probably not, as I don't see a whole flatty, but I'm just throwing that out there.
 
They are so little I can't see what they look like to identify them.
 
They have seemed pretty happy but I'm not sure they are extending as far as normal but look good

I have the exact same thing on my torch. Is there a definitive answer on what these are?
 
I had tiny white bugs on my zoas... @Lionfish Lair was able to identify them as harmless Ostracods.
Long shot but if you see this is there anyway to get them out I’ve had 10s turn to hundreds in a week or so I’ve dipped multiple times they are these little pen point white bugs crawling around my rocks and like my softies I haven’t been able to find any info on them except people asking about them to no avail I don’t know what my next move is but they’re is a lot of them so I need to get a plan fast
