Hi guys,

My Frogspawn is infested with little white bugs. Can someone tell me how i can get these little buggers out? Should i FW dip? Here are some of the pictures i took from other posters because i can't take pictures of my frogspawn. My frogspawn won't open 100% since the infection. It had reduced to about 25% or it's expanded size.

I tried water dipping but it looks like they're still there. Should i FW Dip multiple times? I don't want to medicate the frogspawn.

These little white critters seem to be preventing them from fully expand.

Should i get a Six Line Wrasse?

I had red bugs on my acro and montipora and needed to do a an Interceptor treatment. I did not want to dose my entire tank so I filled up a 10 gallon cooler and and put in ~10-15% of a large pill. Worked great. That was yesterday.

I also noticed a few months ago my torch had little white bugs. It didn't worry me much because it looks very healthy. My frogspawn (two types) extension has not been great so I assumed they might have the same problem but harder to see white bugs. I decided to include these 3 in the treatment as well. All 3 look much better today and no white bugs. I realize they may come back because I did not treat the entire tank.

I am avoiding doing this because I don't want to kill my pods, and possibly crabs, and shrimp.
