Try and "bake" your coral under mh light for half an hour. Say keep it 12" under the light.It happens in nature as the tide goes out. This meathod is not proven but worth a shot with a perishing coral. The coral will slime up durring this process, and I dont think the red bugs will stay too long under MH lighting. Or even in dry air.

Interceptor treatment is one of the most reliable and proven method to eradicate these pests. Just do a seach for interceptor and red bugs.

Try and talk to the vet about what you're using it for. Bring an article from Borneman. THis may help. They may charge you but oh well.
If that doesn't work, check your local reef club. There's bound to be other members that have some pills to spare.
