I took a close look at my acopora frag and saw that it was completely dead (it never really had much color, so it was harder to tell). When I took a closer look at it, I found it was covered in red acro bugs. I removed it, and I'm not that concerned at this point since it was the only acropora in my tank.
Questions about red bugs:
I'm not sure that the frag was the healthiest to begin with. Are these red bugs predacious killers or just opportunistic scavengers?
Since their only food source is now gone, do I still need to treat the tank? Or should I be fine just waiting a few months (my budget won't really allow any new purchases anyway).
For future additions, what should I do? Breif freshwater dip? Iodine dip?
