Thanks guys. Just making sure.

yes, you would see em if you look closely. the only problem is they can hide down in the coralite by the polyp.

here are a couple of pics - the redbugs are the yellow and red dots


they are a little harder to see on this one and seemed to be much smaller


last time i got it a couple of years ago, no prescription was needed.

no prescription is needed. It is readily available at any feed store.

Here's my procedure for stonies:
1. 5 hr soak in interceptor
2. Then 15-20 minutes of ReVive coral cleaner
3. Then 15 minutes in a pretty strong lugols solution

In between dips, I spray with a turkey baster to see if anything flies off, (aefw etc.)
And inspect with jewelers magnifying viser.
Scrubbing off anything that looks weird or discolored with a strong bristle tooth brush or clipping off pieces with bone cutters.

After all that quarantine for a few hours to keep inspecting it. Has worked the past 6 years not getting any pests in the tank.
I do occasionally lose corals doing this, but it's not worth taking a chance.
