Trying to insert video of possible red bugs on acro frag. If I can get video to work, I'll grab some frames from it...

If you have it on your phone, could screenshot frame and attach to post (if video doesn't end up loading)

I am following though. Haven't had these yet but want to see what sps veterans/carcinologist/pod enthusiasts have to say, lol

I updated original post to still frames from the video. Circled suspects in red. Especially down by the base of the frag, you can see how they've moved from one frame to the next

Just adding this here, I am not a veterinarian and you'd be better consulting with an aquatic scientist or someone who has used these medications. People also use Interceptor. Milbemycin is suspected to be the active ingredient in Interceptor though, but could affect crabs and other invertebrates. Availability is probably not the same everywhere for it tho

Thanks for the info. I had some Dr G's with milbemycin lying around so I gave three frags an 8-hr dip and they seem to be gone. Fingers crossed!
