I’ve been slowly loosing all but 2-3 of my acro frags/colony over the past 3-4 months and I have been trying to rule out what the problem is. Icp came back okay, checking par later this week, but I decided I would dip the acros not looking well. I saw several of both of these fall off. Can anyone confirm ? FYI the white spots on the mite looking creature are led reflections from the microscope. Which problem do I try to attack first?

Can you post photos of eggs or bite marks form the worm? Hard to tell from a backlit picture.

I haven’t seen eggs, but here are some extra pictures of the dip solution (this was yesterday, had a ton more today). I haven’t found anything that has bite marks on my acros that look like aefw, but there were several flat worms when I looked under the microscope.
