Black bugs on sps

Thank you!!!

I still want to hear about the whole scooter blenny thing. They eat bugs like this and can help you live with them, similar to how people live with other things like ich management, AEFW management?

Here are the bugs that are challenging my will to keep acropora:



Id: halicarid mites.

Look familiar?

Have you tried the Exodus dip by reef moonshiners? Wonder if it’ll get them for you.

I have not tried that dip; however, these bugs are also on the rocks so I don’t think a dip would eliminate them from the tank.

Supposedly exodus can be used on rock as well. But it will kill your beneficial bacteria.
