Then about the people that knowingly give away or sell frags infected with red bugs? Especially for a beginner that may have no clue what a red bug is. And may never know they have them till mysteriously coral die or nothing may happen. I myself would have to do that to anyone willingly. I have been battling a flatworm problem in my main tank. I have it pretty much licked. But I will not give or sell a frag to a friend or stranger till I know they are guy. But that is me and everyone has a right of ones own opinion.
I don't go and play games and try to hurt feelings on here. There is a RED BUG PROBLEM.
I think it boils down if you dip your corals or quarantine it or you just dont plainly care.
Even if you tell me you dont have Redbug, I will still not risk my tank if I have a $$$$ tank.... I think that is no brainer.... whether he has it or not doesnt matter anymore.... what matters now is what are you going to do about it????
I even read somewhere here in this forum that there was a guy or maybe two that was so dissappointed because they did not get what they wanted even if they know well that the source of the corals has redbugs.
So it still boils down to..... how good you do your husbandry. Do you quarantine or not?, do you dip it or not?, do you use condom or not? Do you risk it or not?
Now... are we just going to continue this blaming game until that person (which i think everybody is reffering to) is out and down and beaten?
With regards to the newbie being given unknowingly with redbugs.... Its the newbies job to do his own assignment, and research about the good practices of trading and buying corals...
And its our job to tell and teach these guys how to do good husbandry practices, and not teach them avoid someone because he has RB. RB is here and will be here to stay...
Just my 02 cents.
Sorry Tracy for hijacking your thread.
