It CAN Happen to you

hmmm interesting, maybe i will hold off on the six line then. I dont like the idea of blasting them off the corals at this point as it seems pretty localized. Blasting them off would prob worsen the problem from this point.

i will post a ton pics on sunday night of the damage, people need to know exactly what this looks like so they can catch it early. Bites are very small, less that a mm long, slightly oval in shape, appearing in clusters around base areas and armpits of branches.

Acro crabs - I use a plastic chop stick to chase them out of acros, also works well for stabbing and skooshing the bad crabs.

Would this be a contributing factor to STN? I do dip all corals in Revive, but maybe hubby takes them out too soon. I always see critters in the solution, but they always look like little pods and such...
