saltycritter is an unknown quantity at this point
I went to my local fish store and they said they didn't have anything that would really 100 percent kill them. But he said that an option that i could try is Kent lugols solution. Well i mixed up a dip using the instructions on the small bottle and dipped the coral in the solution according to the bottle for 10-15 minutes. I decided to give it a try and dipped for 15 minutes. After this was done, i used a turkey baster and blew strongly but not violently, to try to mechanically remove the bugs. When the first treatment was completed i put the coral back where it was originally sitting. I only saw three bugs, but they were not moving. I will post again, in another week or so to see if that fixed my red bug problem. After removing the coral from the dip bucket there must have been hundreds of those little buggers on the bottom of the bucket.
