Question about RB's & their larvae
Can you transport RB's or their larvae on hermit crabs, non Acropora corals or anything else that you might remove before treating with Interceptor?
Thanks |

yes, red bugs can be on other coral or rock...possibly snails, but can not stay alive without acropora. I am 100% possitive I got my first red bugs on a montipora cap.

I thought that monti's were safe from these bugs? Do the seriatopora attract the bugs as well? I was under the impression that only Acropora attracted the RB's

I think what chrisaggie is implying is that they can be transported on other animals not that they had an affect on his montipora. They just came in on them..
