What is the best pest eating fish that wont turn on my inverts or corals? I have an LPS dominant mixed reef. Current situation is that is have 9 corals in QT. 5 came in today from WWC. I dipped them. I found a BLACK BUG!!! And there was an asterina munching on the Galaxia in the bag! Hmmm.
The new frags were dipped and I found about 10 different species that came off of them under a microscope.
I have the frags in QT now - but - where there are adults there are eggs.
I'm going to dip in Bayer... Only use Coral Rx right now and brush like hell, however, I see the need for a more aggressive approach to my dipping protocol.
I have heard that INTERCEPTOR from the vet is the only way to beat Black Bugs. Hmmm... Next steps..
Anyhow, even though I do this 90 day quarantine on Fish and Corals, I want to be sure that everything remains under control. My DT is pristine... Ich free, no nudis, no bristle worms, etc... I will not introduce a pest knowingly.
However, knowing there ARE pests on these new frags... What fish do I need?
I have researched wrasses and I hold the concern that they will eat my feather dusters... And I love my feathers.
What does the hive reef mind suggest?
