Black bugs

[Flounder's Reef]

A local reefer is shutting down there tank and has a mixed reef.. they stated they had black bugs 9 months ago and performed 3 rounds of treatment to eradicate the problem. Would it be safe to purchase a tourch and acan lords?

"No current pests that I'm aware of. I had black bugs back in March but did 3 rounds of interceptor which wiped them out and I haven't seen anything since. And the affected corals (montis and the lemongrass acro) have grown back the fullest since treatment. I also haven't added anything new in a few months."

Interceptor works really well, so good chance they are ok. But you can also do a Bayer dip to be safe.

I'd probably still qt them to make sure.

Will coral rx work? Do these bugs only affect acros?
