I just noticed a lot of tiny white critters on my green torch. Can't see them on any other corals at the moment.
They move pretty fast, and if they were on the glass I'd think they were baby isopods.

Anyone can tell me what they are, and if I should start doing back to back dips or something?

A little fuzzy when I expand pic but May be grey bugs
Attempt a dip with coral RX or iodine

Yes it does.
Not sure if I can get Doc G here, so might have to beg a vet for something similar, although I'm pretty sure most will say no.

Interceptor or Doc G's will get rid of these. I lost so much euphyilla before I got it figured out. I treated the whole tank twice just to make sure I got them. I haven't lost any since. Good luck!

Thanks.
I found another thread stating that Dr. G's doesn't have the same ingredients anymore.
I did find some milbemycin oxime/prazi in Germany, so hopefully I will receive it within a couple of days.
It seems a dip in revive took care of a lot of them, but I bet they'll be back soon.
