Attached please find some pictures of some kind of acropora bugs. The yellow ones look like red bugs, but no red dots I have noticed on them. They do move quickly.
I dipped it in Coral Clean FM and Coral RX. The coral is stressed now, but I do not see them now.
On the other coral there some semitransparent (sorry no pictures, were made), I dipped it as well.
The third coral has some kind of black-grey, they also can move rather quickly. No bugs were noticed on other corals.
Please advise what shall I do, some corals cannot be dipped as they are glued to the rock. If the corals are fine, shall I keep like it or shall I do one of the following options:
1) Get wrasse melanurus, it will eat them
2) Use Flatworm Stop (but they can move quickly)?
3) Use Novatis Milbemax (milbemycin oxime/praziquante), we do not have Interceptor in Ukraine.

Many thanks for your advice.

Dear colleague,
Biological control, such the wrasse, are quite difficult to have lucky with it.
Flatworm stop and CoralRX won’t help for this case.
Your best options is indeed the third one.

If I understand correctly, you still can remove the corals from the tank, right?
If that is the case, just take a 10l bucket with a power head and put the corals there with the triturated medicine for a few hours (6h).

Take a look into the other acros during the night with a flashlight… it is easier to spot them

Good luck and let us know

I can’t view this post for some reason. I just got an order from here (aquarium wholesale) and I think found black bugs. I got a torch too so I need to qt this one as well?
