Anyone has interceptor for red bugs please?!

[Raed]

I got SPS bugs! They look golden yellow under the light. Help please ...
Got a few new frags lately and dipped them but realized that the dipping solution was expired. One of my colonies started to bleach and saw those little buggers all over it. It is not an option to get my SPS colonies out of the tank as they are encrusted, is there a treatment I can do for the entire tank. Will it be safe for the fish and inverts and soft corals? I?m in Astoria, Queens.

dam i dont think Red bugs can do that kind of damage, you may have AEFW and those are eggs to the flatworms

Definitely red bugs, I saw them clearly with a flashlight and they are fast moving

Dont have to panic, make sure what you have and then attack it correctly.

Red bugs more annoy the coral rather than eat away at it.
so if you have flat worms attack that first

wrasses usually eat flatworms and red bugs

your best bet naturally is to get a dragon faced pipefish, if they are red bugs he will eat them and also if you have the more rare tegastid species like acropora eating black bugs they will be a snack to him aswell. any of the black tegastid copepods will require a much stronger dosage (up to 4X the redbug dosage) and a 4-6 week followup treatment like clockwork to eliminate all new hatches.

skimmer off for 6-12 hours at the start of each treatment with carbon and gfo and filter socks pulled offline.

Thanks, I found the pills and did the first dose, don?t see any bugs now. Will do 2 more treatments in the next 2 weeks.
