    Thanks all for the input so far!

    When I started learning about marine systems last year, I didn't see much about QTing corals. Recently, however, I am seeing more evidence of people doing it, and I was wondering how many of you guys do!

    Red bugs are a parasitic copepod that are exclusive to Acropora sp. corals.
