Red Bugs?

Do you have acropora in your tank?

 

[maxim.dockx]

This is kinda freaking me out

Red Bugs?

Do you have acropora in your tank?

No. No acroporas

With this close up.... I don't think it's red bugs let me research some... Any new additions to the tank?

 

[maxim.dockx]

Could they be ostrocods??

it almost looks like an egg sack of some sort maybe Nudi..., but that last photo looks like flat worms, but I cant pinpoint it my eyes are not as good as some others on the forum.... Time to call in the expert.

What did these come in on/ where did you find them?

 

[Tahoe61]

They are not red bugs, do you have any sps corals at all?
How did you collect them and where in the tank did you collect them?
Are they mobile?

 

[maxim.dockx]

1 montipora samarencis but its been there for a few months and the outbreak seems to be on the other side of the tank.

I collected them with tongs ( i guess thats what it called)

Around this place. about mid high in the tank

I have something that looks just like these but all the ones ive seen were in a freshwater tank never seen them in a reef or even saltwater but stranger things have happened
