    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Start by moving it down.

    Getting lighting right is more important initially than worrying about feedings. I do feeding mine but a lot of people do not.

    Do you top off and if so, is it to the sump or directly to the tank?

    If you need images of Red Bugs let me know.

    More likely to be able to see them on smooth skin acropora but they affect Millepora as well.

    it is not going to magically stop bleaching overnight. Give the piece some time.

    From your photo, it looks as if the tissue is necrosing. What are your magnesium levels? What do you mean by LED wholesaler?
