help - white bugs

I have white bugs on and inside of my frogspawn. They move very quickly and the coral is not opening. Definatly not cops - isopods - or mysid shrimp. They are pin head small and are invert like. They started with one blasto colony and ate it one head at a time. I dipped lugols thinking bacterial but it had no effect. They don't appear to be red bugs as they have not moved to my acros. I run 2 14k 400w halides and 2 54w t5. Water parameters are perfect. Water changes weekly. Total water volume for a 120g roughly 250g. I run ozone. Just eating LPS. Help!
 
If they are crustaceans, interceptor would kill them; would kill all other crustaceans as well (crabs shrimp etc).
 
Trying to avoid interceptor. But will use as a last resort. Have been looking at using a mini dose in a effort to save as many of my inverts as possible. Would rather not blitz the tank with anything until I get this narrowed down.
 
Hadn't thought of that. That may be the lesser of all evils. Going to give that a shot with a minor dose of interceptor. Anyone have dosage info for dip. Could do this in a 1g pail. Just have to hope these little guys are not in throughout the tank.
