Are they a tiny little yellow bug with a tiny red dot. Makes me wonder why they are called red bugs.

yes sir and I have thousands, has anyone used interceptor, or is there something new???

I did a little research regarding killing the little buggers off without killing the coral itself, after discussing the matter with the local vet (and explaining what it was all about) and reviewing Interceptor ingredients, we decided to give Milbemax a try (heart worm med. for kittens) the only difference we could find was that the effective ingredient (Milbemycin Oxime) was a lower dose. Milbemax also contains 10mg Praziquantel (primary ingredient in PraziPro (Hikari) fish medication) which works by increasing the permeability of the membranes of the parasite which in turn allows the Milbemycin Oxime to work more effectivly (in theory). I dosed the 30 gal quarantine tank with 1/2 of one pill (pulverized and disolved into tank water) I had 100% kill and the corals showed no Ill effects. Good luck, hope whatever you try works out.
