Finally figured out why my stylophora was dying need help identifying what bug it is

[ArnelP]

I’ve been having problems with my stylophora for a while and was blaming myself and checked everything and tried to change the lights/ flow/ nutrients slowly for almost 2 months to see what is was. Now that it is completely gone I can see some bugs on the stylos. Before adding to tank I used coral rx but didn’t seem to stop the bugs. Need help identifying them to then see what I should do. I’m pretty new to reefing it was my first set of sps.

Your movies aren't working for me, but I see red dots on the coral in the pictures. I haven't dealt with red/black bugs before so I can't help too much.

should I compleletly remove that bleached stylophora or can it recover after treatments?

Hold off for someone else to confirm an ID please I'm not certain. The pics I can see are pretty blurry, the more I look the more unsure I am of what I'm looking at.

Not well enough to ID with certainty. Try looking up acro bugs and compare them with what you have.
