Acro black bugs attacking/eating torches? 100% not flatworms

[xmrbob941]

I’ve treated with interceptor an seems to be doing better I don’t see anymore on them. But has anyone else seen this or dealt with it before? Tanks been up a year an a half no issues. I haven’t had a single acro in the tank. I only house torches, hammers, blastos, acans, Zoa’s. The 24k torch I posted had it the worst of all my torches. The rest seemed unaffected by them but had them on them 100% they ate into the tissue on this 24k though.

Welcome… maybe flat worms but red bugs and the new black bugs don’t eat torches at least that I’m aware of..

100% weren’t flat worms coral rx did nothing. Someone also thought I had an over load of pods. My LFS “Frag freak” identified them as black bugs an we dosed the tank with interceptor. I don’t see anymore on them now. But it may be too late for it. Dipped in revive yesterday an seems to be melting today. If I don’t see any improvement by tonight/tomorrow morning Im going to pull it from the tank before it dies an infects something else.

Weird.. there’s a Sps tank with them right now and interceptor did nothing to faze them…
