Well, my Red Bug treatment is done and everything is showing improvement with coloration starting to return to the Acros. Lost a few that were too far gone, and others may need to be fragged to re-grrow.

The wierd thing is that my Digitata problem seems to have been cured also :unsure It is still early, but the Digi seems to be recovering with good polyp extension and some new growth forming. One Cap about 3"x5" was almost gone, but seems to be regenerating now.

Is there any experience among MAASTards or posts on RC that indicate Red Bugs may also attack Digis?

Thanks - Steve

Not that I am aware of. I have actually read threads on RC of people asking about this, but the answer is always no. Good luck with your corals.

Well a digi is an sps regardless of what is said about the bugs likeing them or not. If they are showing improvement I guess thats a myth. Unless it is the beef!! If thats the case why not add bouillon cubes to the tank?

I don't think it is the yummy beef flavoring :roll I did the treatment Saturday and have dumped over 600g of fresh water in it since then :blink

A water change never hurts anything and is why I do small ones more frequently.
