the drill bit is for refference it was a 5/64ths




It I belive has been feeding on the acro for over a month now does anyone know what this is. Oh no other Acro frags show signs of damaged tissue
Hi MadKeenreefer, I don't believe that is one of these unwanted redbugs, redbugs are much smaller, I would say like a half or less than a grain of salt

That seems more like a copepod (but I can't count it's legs) or other not harmfull pod
