Interceptor kills strombus snails?

[CaptainCoral]

Ok folks. I'm sorry to post another interceptor thread.
I'm looking for specific information though.

Has anyone who's treated their whole tanks have strombus snails?
Did they survive? I'm talking about the ones that breed in your tank from Indo Pacific Sea Farms.
I have enough in my display that I'd probably never get them all out, and would have a serious ammonia spike if they died.
I did a test with a cup and two snails and scraped some interceptor off of a pill into the cup. I have no way of knowing how much was dosed. After 6hrs, one was no longer holding on when i swirled the cup, I removed them and made a mental note where thay were when i replaced them into the display. The next morning they were still there.
So, I think it killed them, but the dose may have been extreme.

Do any of you who have done the interceptor treatment in their display have these strombus snails and did they survive?

Thanks folks.

i have a ? for you did the cup of water get cold i would bet it did after 6 hrs that would kill them

Hmmmm, I'll re-do the experiment.

I recieved 12 of them all alive in the winter a few yrs back.
Coming to chicago from Hawaii took a while and the heat packs were exhausted. I don't think the water got any colder than that time, but run the experiment again I will. (that sounds like Yoda dosn't it)

FWIW scraping a little of the pill off into a 5 gal bucket is enough for a dip at several times strength. I would think scraping it into a cup was a massive overdose:eek1:
FWIW Interceptor does not harm any other mollusks(astreas, clams, turbos the list goes on) so I see no reason why it would harm your strombus at the correct or a SLIGHTLY higher dosage.
