i actually had a very bad dino infestation a couple of years ago, after nuking the tank with interceptor@Jilly92 yup why I got my little 120x loupe to inspect pieces after dip(tissue,irregularities,blemishes,discoloration,tears,bulging tissue I usually dip in coral rx an iodine(redbugs usually are endemic to smooth skin acropora sp from Australia for red bugs interceptor or (milbemycin oxime) works best crush one pill one pill equals 6 sailfert spoons(add one spoonful per cup of tank water)put coral in solution and wait an hour to an hour and 20 mins for bigger pieces.then inspect piece with 120x and blast slime and redbug remains off the piece with a turkey baster,then have a separate cup ready and re dip the piece in fresh tank water add 1ml lugol iodine then redrip and re add piece to display or coral qt tank if u have one,keep inspecting daily if infestation happens get a pipefish(some people treat whole display but I wouldn't try this or buy into your better off dipping individual pieces you'll never know how finicky a certain piece or piece will react to interceptor, then keep inspecting piece and dosing iodine weekly if piece starts to bleach or peel dip in revive before it's too late
