Title: What's a Red Bug Look like?

I found this photo from someone on RC today. It's an incredible shot of three red-bugs. No way your human eye can see at this resolution, but it's a fantastic reference photo.

BTW: for those interested, dragon-face pipe-fish are reportedly one of the better (best) red-bug predators for your SPS tank!

Thanks for the reference Tim. It's a great shot. Even with a magnifying glass, I doubt that my 50+ eyes would be able to see them.

If anyone out there ever needs to get Interceptor only some vets will get it for you, but print off a copy of the above link and bring it in with you and you shouldnt have a hard time aquiring a package.
