Can anyone tell me what type of bug or crab is this? I’ve never seen it before. It wasn’t on any coral that I could see but at the base of quite a few plugs. A couple sps frags has very minor recession at the base but none of the bugs are on them. They are very small. It’s about the size of fine ground pepper.
Top down
I was able to catch a few more and this looks like butt side I assume.
This is as close as I can get with a handheld mini scope
One last bug came off the frag plug I blasted off. I thought it is red bugs. But I’m not so sure.
I initially thought it was black bugs on the first bug and did the Dr. G’s dosing regimen I saw on here. It didn’t even faze them. I did it to the point of 90 ml for a 60 gallon system. Corals were not affected at all. Fish was doing well. Only a cleaner shrimp died. I couldn’t get him out without tearing down the rock work.
