Default Euphilliya bugs

So my frogspawn has been very irratated in the past few days and I couldn't figure out why. Every other coral is great and Params all checked out. Haven't changed anything or done anything at all differently. Because I was basically stumped on what the hell was going on I grabbed a magnifying glass and had a look at the frogspawns. And man it was covered in bugs.
Couldn't find too much info on what they were but read that interceptor would kill them dead. Anyone ever had these? I don't have interceptor so I gave it a bath in 2:1 peroxide to tank water, and let me tell you there was a whack of dead bugs in the water. So now I will see if the frogspawn recovers or what happens.
Anyone have expierences with these little bastards?

What do they look like ? What color are they ?
Did you take any pictures of them during or after the dip ?

They are very small and I don't have a good camera. If I had to explain them they are like tiny lobster shaped things. Defiantly not pods. Not even sure where they came from as the only thing I've added to my tank is a toadstool frag and I dipped it.

So a couple hours later and after 10 mins in a peroxide bath the frogspawn seems to be doing fine, but my lights are off so I can't really tell. The Polyps are out More now though then they have been In the last few days. I'm going keep a close eye on it because supposedly these bugs are very hard to get rid of. However, peroxide continues to amaZe me on how many different uses it has in this hobby.

Sorry greggZ I meant to post here, none of those pics are the bugs I seen, but they do have the shape of the second pic from what I can tell.

Exactly what kind of "bugs" did you read up on? You mentioned Interceptor earlier, you weren't reading about "red bugs" were you? Red bugs only affect smooth-skinned Acropora corals.

Don't think they are flatworm, but they do love Lps. There is little to no info but what I could find I found on rc. http://www.reefcentral.com/forums/sh....php?t=1776624
