So I had noticed one of my millis not looking so hot. So I removed the piece and inspecting it a little closer...Well this is what I found on the bottom of the base. What type of eggs are we looking at? Red bug, Snails etc. Let me know what you guys think?

Thanks

Those are the eggs of the DEVIL. The most evil pest of all AEFW.

Good luck
 
Wow! That is the most aefw eggs I've ever seen in a picture. Good luck treating this. I feel your pain since I just went through this six or seven months ago. I lost every single acro I owned.
 
Good luck and hopefully u can get ur acros thru all of this. Ur tank is filled with acros so it will b some time b4 u get rid of them. If u have this many on 1 sps, they should b all over ur acros by now. Again good luck and damn that sucks.
 
Daym!!! How much acro do u have? U might as well treat the whole tank. Get rid of acro with that much eggs. Save a few frags. Dip each colony/rocks in Bayer (30ml per cup) and place back in tank after rinsing. Wait a couple hours after u place everything that was dipped and then use carbon in your sump. You will actually see more FW die in your tank from left over Bayer that leaches out of the dipped rocks. Repeat every 2 weeks. i think weekly dips stress acros out too much, but if they look fine you may do weekly.
I would advice against setting up new QT tank because acros will die in a new QT tank.
Dip all new corals in Bayer.

Shoot! I just saw your tank thread. You have a tank full of acros. Goodluck with the Devil of all acro pests! I wonder if you just add a very small amount of Bayer in you tank and see if that kills the pests. Then wait a few hours (since its a small amount of bayer) before water change and carbon. I am suggesting this method because your acros are so big with the giant rocks to dip.

Wouldn't this method kill his fish? Wouldn't the leeching kill his fish down the road even if he QT'd his fish during treatment? Doesn't Bayer attack the nervous system of animals, including fish?

I dipped a rock a long time ago and didnt know my wrasse was in a hole. I dipped in strong bayer dip (30ml per cup). Fish is still alive today.
I also bought a rock of acro colony last year and dipped whole rock in bayer dip. The rock leached some bayer in my tank, killed my shrimp (which is why I think small amount of bayer will also kill AEFW in tank), but all fish are alive.
