When I had RB I took macro images and they were visible. Unless you have a lot of inverts, shrimps and crabs, I would treat with Intercepter.
I have interceptor coming in. I just wanted to clarify, im not sure if its red bug or black bug but both are treated with interceptor.

The aquariums water will never be clearer, and you will never see less film algae on the glass after you use the interceptor. Every coral in my tank showed improved expansion post treatment, even non sps.
Of course that only lasted a month.

Seems like some sort of parasitic copepod, can’t tell the specific type but Interceptor should eliminate them after a 3 treatments spaced 1 week apart.

I would use the white bug dosage of 1 large dog pill per 100 gallons, just to be safe.
