You treated the entire tank with Bayer dip, or just the individual corals that were affected?

As for the sand, I highly doubt the red bugs would be able to burrow in it, given their need for a host, typically SPS corals. Having recently gone through three rounds of Sentinel treatment myself, I ...

The standard treatment calls for a 12-hour treatment window. I personally just went through this process on Saturday and didn't notice any adverse effects on my tank beyond the target pests. I followed up with a 10% water change and plan to run carbon for the next week to help mitigate any ...

I'm not sure if 6 hours is long enough - will it be enough time for the treatment to take effect?

Just started treatment. Dropped in 1/14th of a pill at 10 am. Waiting 6 hours, then doing a 25% water change.

I used Bayer dips in separate containers for each coral.

I don't have shrimp, and only a few snails and crabs, so I'm hoping the die-off won't be too bad without the sand to protect the microfauna.

I'm planning to start the Sentinel treatment on Monday.

What was your treatment protocol like? I ...

I've got a red bug infestation on many of my corals, and it's come out of nowhere - literally, I had no idea this was coming. Doesn't really matter how it happened, though.

I also found some black bugs on my montipora.

Thinking of going with a Sentinel treatment.

Had a similar issue with red ...

Breeding isn't my main goal at the moment. I'll just let them do their thing in the larger tank and see how it goes. If the babies make it, great, if not, no big deal. I appreciate all the info, thanks. I'll swing by my LFS and check if they have Nexarios, I read that the babies eat that stuff.

That's good to know for next time. How often do they breed, anyway? I'm in the process of upgrading to a bigger tank now, Picclys are on the way.
