Black bugs on Torch?

[BriansBrain]

I’ve had this torch for a couple weeks and it has never really fully opened. Know why now.

Never seen black bugs or parasitic copepods on lps before. Is this what it is? All over the flesh band and tentacles :worried-face: I’m not sure if I have interceptor, would a KCl bath do anything?

After viewing other threads for black bugs I'm leaning towards yes.

I experienced with these black bugs on all of my euphyllia, the only thing can rid of these guys is interceptor for dog.

I have KCL coming Tommorrow. I'll keep you updated. But I think I'll be dipping every 3 days

Kcl would not get rid of black bugs, you need Milbemycin, and i would treat the whole tank with it
