Need Help Please

[eagleONE]

I just picked up a frag from a local and I found what I believe to be redbugs. Someone please verify for me. I have no experience with redbugs before as I am pretty new to SPS.

Here is my situation. I was acclimating it, then I put the piece in the tankfor a second. (I had the frag in my hand, underwater at the surface to look at it. Seriously I had it in there for one second, thats when the red caught my eye. I took the frag out immediately. What are my chances of getting red bugs?

Looks like red bugs for sure.

Did you see any fall off when you put it in the tank?

I'm not sure. I really can't be certain.

I wouldn't sweat it, yet. I would not dose the tank unless you for sure have some in your display. As for the frag treat it or toss it. It is not worth the trouble. I would let the reefer that gave you the frag that he has redbugs ,as for he may not know his tank is infested.
