Red Bug Question

seansod · 01/28/2007, 04:24 PM

Alright I got the dreaded Red Bugs. I have setup a QT tank 20gal and plan on removing all the acros to it for 6 days (read that RB only live 3-5 days without a host). Do I need to move the monti's or digita's or staghorns also (head that RB don't host monti's or "furry" corals).

Thanks for your help

I would move all of them just for the piece of mind. Althogh RB's take preference to smooth-skinned acropora, there's no guarantee that they don't like others.

Treat all of them just to be safe.

I checked out your tank build thread, all I can say is "WOW"
