Thank Rob, I forgot about that thread, I read it about a week back when it was started and thought I haven't and would never get red bugs.

Well I gave the frag that I purchased with RB a lugols dip. It killed them but it also faded the once vibrant green acro to brown. The polyps started to apear yesterday and they are still bright green. It will most likely take a month or more before the acro start to gain it's color back.

I have not seen any other signs of RB on it or any of my other acros. I also found out last night that I have a pair of breeding peppermint shrimp. I had tons of free swimming babies last night. So I am glad I didn't use a inteceptor treatment.

I won't be trading any corals for a while until I am 100% positive they are gone and even then I am going to pretreat and quaratine any corals going out of my tank to stop this epidemic.
