Interceptor pills

[grundig5]

A large pill treats 380 gallons so I think thats the correct dosage. I am going through my first whole tank treatment right now (hour 5). So far, found a few hermits I must have missed that look pretty much stone dead. I cant wait to be free of the bugs. I feel pretty bad about the hermits though, they dont deserve that kind of treatment.

Thanks for the reply. How many times are you going to treat your tank?

If this medication would kill inverts wouldn'e it be better to take out all the acros and quarantine them and wait till the bugs starve then put them back in? Even though you take out the hermits and shrimps what about the worms, snails, copepods, amphidods,ect? They would be wiped out. Right? I don't have much sps but i would like some eventually and this sounds like a nightmare waiting to happen if i get any. This is a lesson for me to learn to quarantine every sps before they get into my tank.

Yes it kills most pods. Its unfortunate but can be replaced pretty easily. I am going to do at least 3 treatments. Everything went great today...
until I decided to dip a coral to see if anything red came off. I took the coral out, and noticed a funny flapping looking bug on the bottom of it, kinda slug like. Looked like an AEFW. I tried to get pics of it and get closer but it dissolved in my iodine dip too quickly. I quickly dipped every frag I could grab and did not find another one. I dont know if it was an AEFW, but I'm going on a hunt.
