They make a coral dip solution for you to "dip" your corals into to get the bugs off. I would get it and do it QUICKLY before it spreads to other corals, if it hasn't already.

How long have you had your new frogspawn? What does your water tests show? I would make sure the bugs that you are referring are actually bad maybe you can Google them and post a name to go along with the description of bugs.

I could be wrong, but I don't think redbugs infest anything other than SPS.

i did a lugo's dip for 12 mins last night. there were tons of bugs came out and one amphipod. the frogspawn already look better at night. i hope the bugs will move away or felt off all. water quality is PH 8.3, Alk 9, calcium 45 (only test the important one). everything ok now i hope.
