Is this AEFW or Black Bugs or something else???

IMO, forget about the pest idea for now. I've been in and around the fish/coral trade since childhood, so I've seen about every REAL pest possible. The critters in the photos are not anything to worry about. I personally wouldn't even bother to dip at this point. Might just be more stress on the corals. Maintain stability, and if you suspect your nutrients are too low, bring them up slowly.

I don't think a Xanax would have worked better than those last two responses. Thanks!
