black bugs

I'm a beginner and have a 5 month old reef cube. It is a mixed reef, packed with sps among other things. Used TBS live rock and sand. I diligently dipped all frags. Taking a video of something else, I saw these tiny black bugs. I would absolutely not see them with a naked eye. This is as...

I have attached the microscopic pictures of the bugs in my tank along with a naked eye picture. These bugs are tiny as much as less than 0.1mm. I have go through a month’s time interceptor treatment with more than 7-8x dosage recommended for red bug. It’s 100mg for 150G tank volume and there’s...

My 150G tank has been battling these bugs for months, they seem to move slow but attack corals fast. They look like tiny black spots and only can be found nocturnally moving around the base of my SPS tank. I have tried drastic interceptor dosage 100-200mg for 150G and they seem to be stale when...

A local reefer is shutting down there tank and has a mixed reef.. they stated they had black bugs 9 months ago and performed 3 rounds of treatment to eradicate the problem. Would it be safe to purchase a tourch and acan lords? "No current pests that I'm aware of. I had black bugs back in March...

I've got black bugs on a couple of my acros and pretty much every monti. Does anybody have interceptor for black bugs they would be willing to sell me. I really need it as I've already lost some big digi frags to these bugs.

So to make a long story short a couple of my digis were not doing too good. I didn't think much of it and I ended giving them to a fellow reefer. These digi have not done good for me for like the past month or 2. Everything else is fine. He got back and said I had black bugs?? So I immediately...

Hello… I have been experimenting with different treatment options for Coral Boring Spionid Worms. I did not realize there was a worm that could tick me off more than Vermetid snails. When I finally kept the Vermetid’s out (100%), I’m so blessed to discover these little devils. Pic unknown...

I’ve treated with interceptor an seems to be doing better I don’t see anymore on them. But has anyone else seen this or dealt with it before? Tanks been up a year an a half no issues. I haven’t had a single acro in the tank. I only house torches, hammers, blastos, acans, Zoa’s. The 24k torch I...

Noticed some of my acro frags have head really bad polpy extension lately and decided to dip some of them in coral Rx. I was trying to zoom in on this really small black dots, can anyone verify it is a black bug or do i need better zoom? Hard for me to tell if its just debris or something worse...

Greetings fellow reefers, with great sadness my first post has to be about something so grim. I have a nanocube 40l with a mixed reef. Everything has been going fine for 2 years, I haven't added anything for a year. A few days back I started to notice STN on my Acro strawberry shortcake...

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...

Hello, I was wondering if anyone out there has come across this mast big that I have found terrorising my frag tank. some people say black bug and some are say aefw.

I will admit up front that I have been unable to find and ID specifically which bug (white/black/red) I am going after. Each time I dip frags & colonies, I kill dozens and dozens of what look to be different sized (shrimp shaped) pods. Nothing that looks quite like tegastes. I've read several...

Hi Reefers. I’m after some help as I’m really unsure as to what I’m dealing with here I noticed one of my Acro’s is struggling and spent some time studying it. After a while, I noticed some very small black dots that moved ever so slowly. Only a couple but I’ve seen them on the stick now for...

i got black bugs on a frag from lfs so far i have lost a couple nice frags i see the bugs all over on my rock and on the bases of some of my sps about a week or two ago i was scrolling through a thread and saw someone post a reef safe black bug killer i was wondering if anyone can point me in...
