tiny black bug on zoa-very similar to red bugs
Hi guys,
I had just finished dipping an unhappy zoa today that got delayed a day in shipping and arrived yesterday. I was looking at it through my mesoscope and found some black bugs crawling on it that look very similar to red bugs that get on sps. They were just moving around on the plug and on the closed zoa, not too many, just a few. They did not seem phased by the Revive dip, although I did a light dip for only 7-8 minutes. I dipped more to help the zoa if it is under the weather from shipping and to stem any potential for infection. Any ideas. I am thinking about dipping the zoa in my Bayer dip.

Could you please post a picture of the zoas/bugs?
I would eliminate any bugs from the frag before introduce to the system. Grandis.
