What exactly would cause sps to loose tissue in the middle of the coral. I don't see any red bugs. In this pic you can see tissue lose in the middle of the coral. I clipped off a
Section in the lower corner that had algae growing on it because it was dead all other coral seem to be fine and not affected by this.

Well problem is/was red bugs I bet. Found some on other acros. Treating with interceptor as we speak.

Red bugs affect polyp extension but do not result in loss of tissue. You might want to check for AEFW.
