Eric Marine Depot's numbers are bogus. I went to Reef Flo's website to compare the numbers because I saw some discrepencies.

I could not obtain Interceptor online either 
I spotted a mantis on some Florida live rock years ago. I took the rock over to the sink and shot some tap water into it, the mantis jumped right out.
A few years later we saw one at a LFS and they pulled out the rock to try what I did and the mantis refused to come out, we could see the thing a couple inches in the rock. We blasted it with scalding hot water for 10 minutes still alive and refused to come out. So yeah it could be easy or tough, depends on the animal.
I had to use baytril on my Koi a few years ago for bacterial infections.
Its an antibiotic and requires a prescription, problem is its for cattle I think so I cheated gave them a friends phone number and he pretended to be a vet and they shipped it to me.
So it can be done but its tricky... sucks that you have to do it the dishonest way, I almost wish somebody had'nt figured out it would work since its so hard to get.

I've heard pouring club soda on the rock will shoot them out also and not kill the rock.

I just ordered some too, that was easy I figure it would be good to have them on hand rather than need them and have to wait. I think I'll grind up partial tablets and dip corals when I buy them as a preventative. There are so many nasties out there, I am dipping everything I get from now on no matter where it's from.
