Lunch, you may want to avoid the nassarius snails. They often times can carry diseases that can be contracted by humans. Check out this article: http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00016486.htm That is just one example of many.

Don't want to bring this off topic but maybe I found an explanation to what caused this a few weeks ago. You should've of seen it a couple of days after this pic was taken....not pretty.

Well my tank in RB free.

Not sure if there are any updated needed to the protocol as I haven't needed to do it again

just an addendum:

I have set up a working introduction protocol for new coral and frags, it involves using 1 salifert scop of the large dog tablet in a 5 gallon bucket of fresh ASW with a heater and a powerhead at the surface (it swirls the entire bi=ucket with a gentle laminar flow). I treat for 8 hours, then move the specimen to my (40 USG) Q tank and leave it for 3-6 weeks. My qt uses a 150 watt DE MH (XM 10kK) and I make it a point to do a 100% waterchange prior to and after adding corals to the QT.

This has worked well for me with no resulting critter losses (like hermit crabs) that enter the coral when they are introduced to the display. The display has remained (at leaset I think it has) RB-free for 2 years now.

This is a little off topic, but does anyone know how long you have keep a treatment tank running if you remove all acros from a display? From what i remember, it was something like 15 days to ensure that the redbugs left in the display (with no acros) would die.
