My experience with brown Montipora bugs
 

Since there is very little information about them online, I thought I should post my experience treating brown Montipora bugs.

I noticed brown/black dots on the undersides of my montipora capricornis species a couple of months ago. I noticed lot less polyp extension, colour loss and some tissue thinning in certain areas. These are a brown tiny copepod that look identical to acropora red bugs and can be treated with "Interceptor", or other medication in the exact same way. I did an Interceptor treatment 4-5 weeks ago and haven't seen a bug since. I treated all montipora species in a 5 gallon quarantine for 24 hours. It seems that the bugs don't go on acropora or any other corals. Hope this helps some people. Happy reefing! -Adam

thank for the info. Yet one more thing to keep my out for.

Never even heard of these things but it may explain some unsolved problems in the past. Thanks for the info.
