Looking closely at my tank I noticed these black bugs on my Forrest fire digi. Colors on the digi hasn't changed. Bright green tips with vibrant red poylps. Hasn't seen them on any of my other acros. What does everyone think is my best course of action?

I would look at the interceptor threads. I didn’t know that black bugs are a problem with montipora but it looks like they might be.
