i was looking at some of my frags this evening and noticed very small YELLOW bugs living on my acropora. it is not red or even orange. just plain ole yellow. has anybody seen these? and should i be concerned? the frags are really healthy and dont appear to be suffering the effects of a parasite, but this is the first time i have seen this bug, so i dont know how long they have been on these perticular frags.

thanx for any help

i took a photo but you cannot see the bugs with my camera. i drew some in to illustrate the size and colour of them. i hope this helps

Sometimes the color of the coral and reflection of the light makes the red bugs looks yellow or golden...you might want to check under daylight with a magnifying lens and make sure.. IF they are yellow, I am very interested!
