Hello fellow reefers,
Please I need help identifying this bug. I have strong doubts that it's munching on my Acros which have been STNing from the base for the past 6 months. I don't want to blame this potentially harmless creature for my mistakes, I also had a KH spike and some AEFW which I was able to get rid of (fingers crossed) by frequently dipping my frags every 2-3 days.
Now I don't see that bug on other LPS and softies, it's only on the leftover acro frags that survived so far. It's very small and I doubt it can be seen with a naked eye. I initially thought it was the famous red bug since it's red, but when realized later red bugs are actually yellow with a red spot. I got a microscope to share some pictures for IDying. When I dip the frag, dozens come out jumping everywhere.
I've tried to do some research online and the closest thing I could find was that it could be a cyclopepod (http://www.wetwebmedia.com/AcroBugF.htm), but I couldn't find any confirmation whether it's good or bad.
Cheers,
