U can see them crawl on the corals. Mostly they seem to like monti. And at the edge of polyp that is sucked in is a little white dot

My brother is having a real bad case of these white bugs. They seem too dig into the polyps hole and prevent extension and eventually killing the polyps. Anyone ever experience these bugs? I think he is just going to interceptor his tank. But checking here for any knowledge.

I would dip. Just don't want a qt tank taking space and money to mantain it. I have an extra 24 gal nano right now that I can always use to qt, if I change my mind. I would have to do water changes just like main tank right. Also I should not have any rocks or sand in there?

Ok I'll look that one up. Thanks

I would check with ur water company too see if they use chloramine in their water like mine does. Then of course get ro/di with chloramine filters 5 stage

What can I do with new corals before putting in main tank. I don't want a QT to take care of. Any recommendation on what I can do before putting in main tank. Little paranoid now since my brother just recently got white bugs inhis tank and he doesn't qt or dip. But of course that will change
