UPDATE...well after quickly adding NUMEROUS acro's....I had red bugs. That totally sucked. Once I figured out that I had them....and read and read and read, then bugged a few people for their experiences I tried treating the display for them. I removed all the hermits that I could find and sorry to say the Peppermint shrimps were too hard to catch, and I have now treated the tank twice. Not a red bug to be seen.....really easy to do, and effective...and the hermits that were left behind...they perished along with the shrimps...but I don't have any red bugs anymore. So now my motto "Q tank for any Acro corals" of which I have set up in my garage right now with 250w halide, skimmer, etc etc. Why on earth I didn't do it before?! At least the treatment was easy and effective. The only bad thing that I experienced other than the hermit and shrimp deaths, which I knew would happen, is a lovely diatom algae bloom.....but that should go soon enough....and hey, if I had any bad hitchiker crabs in the tank..they're gone now!
