Interceptor Question

[tangwang]

I've definitely had it kill shrimp. I've had it kill shrimp, hermits, acro crabs, urchins, pods, etc.... I've used Interceptor plenty of times. And I use it whenever I get a new shipment of sps corals in. None of the acro crabs or shrimp ever make it..

When I treated for red bugs last weekend I lost all my red-legs, PEPPERMINT SHRIMP and my acro crab...

Oh yeah and the red-bugs!!

It may be helpful for you to cite the "many accounts" of shrimp getting killed in an interceptor treatment.

Though I sense a bit of hostility in that statement, I'll just cite the two above people. There are MANY accounts.

I just did the treatment last night.My shrimps survived.I lost the blue hermits but I can get more.I thought the shrimps would die.I have 2 cleaners and 2 fire shrimp.I only saw the cleaner.The fire shrimp tend to hide although maybe they died.I had used iodide the day before.I dose it once a week.I don't know if this helped.I am surprised they lived.

No hostility, only an interest in sharing information for an a reef keeper that is considering using a treatment that I was once apprehensive of. As I stated, most advice given is from those who have not used Interceptor, which is why I also said it would be helpful to cite others that did have problems with their shrimp or other inhabitants.
