The coral came from easy. Its always a risk when the corals are farmed in the ocean. I didn't know that red bugs where a problem so I blame myself I should have dipped. I can't find the regular interceptor all I can find is the chew tabs. I'm doing the temperature thing right now. I have the coral in a bucket with a powerhead. I'm going to lower the temp to 68 and leave it there for 4 hours then bring it back to 78 and blow it off.

I have my price front and center, I haven't seen any signs yet and I have great polyp extension, I'll take a much closer look tonight when I get home. I did a dip in coral revive when I first got it, hope that did them in if it came with mine. I hope not as I have a tank full of acros.

 Used this. Mixed 1/2 gallon with 5ml  This is what came off the two acros  Rinsed the coral and put back in the tank. So far I did see some red bugs but nothing alive or moving. Ill update in an hour. |

So after 3 hours the corals look better then before the dip. The polyps are fully out and no signs of any red bugs. Happy days ahead.
