Having an issue with red bugs, I first notcied on my acro that was green at one point now white in the center where the bugs are. Then, my green stylo is starting to go white in a certain spot and it seems to be spreading. Reason im posting this is because Im pretty sure where the white is starting on the stylo I saw 2 red dots. I can live with the acros going since i thought thats all they ate and I can starve them without adding any for a time being but if they are moving to my other sps I need to take action. What are your thoughts?

Do you have any pictures? Sounds like it could be red flat worms or acro eating flatworms.

I have some pics ill post them but it will be somewhat hard to make out, i think they are red bugs because of the way they move, not like a worm. They are towards the center top middle in the pic. Also posted a pic of what it was when I got it

Stylos upper branch is bleaching in one spot where I thought I saw the red dot
