Who Gives A Fish Forums

Longnose Hawkfish, pretty cool fish.

I've had a similar experience with my chromis, I started with 6 and now I'm down to one big guy. It seems like they just pick on the weakest link until it's gone. I'm in a 75G tank, but I'm not sure that size was the issue. I think it's just their nature. I've come to realize that there's not much ...

You treated the entire tank with Bayer dip, or just the individual corals that were affected?

As for the sand, I highly doubt the red bugs would be able to burrow in it, given their need for a host, typically SPS corals. Having recently gone through three rounds of Sentinel treatment myself, I ...

I'm not sure if 6 hours is long enough - will it be enough time for the treatment to take effect?

Just started treatment. Dropped in 1/14th of a pill at 10 am. Waiting 6 hours, then doing a 25% water change.

I don't have shrimp, and only a few snails and crabs, so I'm hoping the die-off won't be too bad without the sand to protect the microfauna.

I'm planning to start the Sentinel treatment on Monday.

What was your treatment protocol like? I ...

I've got a red bug infestation on many of my corals, and it's come out of nowhere - literally, I had no idea this was coming. Doesn't really matter how it happened, though.

I also found some black bugs on my montipora.

Thinking of going with a Sentinel treatment.
