Tiny bugs on my toad stool and they are eating it

[easyautocare18]

I have thousands of tiny bugs that look like knats. Very tiny. They are not the copopods I added, they are something else. I noticed that my toad stool wasn't opening and with closer inspection a seen 10 bugs on it. Any ideas

Before doing any dipping which leathers dont fare well with, please provide clearer and closer pics under white lighting- pic is very blue to see anything.

If you insist on dipping it, this is the stuff I trust. Dilute it a little with tank water and do expect this coral to take weeks to fully open as they stress very easily, even when handled

it's supposed to be diluted, it's very strong and only need a couple of drops. read the instructions and calculate exactly how many drops of Rx to add to the amount of water you are using.
I've used this on all my corals, (no anemones) and I've still got a half a bottle since buying it a bit over a year ago.

Its my phone. I turned off all my blues I can. I would have to pull bulbs out of my assembly to get it whiter
