Red Bugs DT treatment

Ok, so my first time having red bugs in a fairly new tank (6 months). They came in on an acro frag about a month ago and I just noticed them this morning.

I'm going to try the Bayer dip today, on the frags I can get to on my frag rack, and those not glued to the rock work.

If they come back, due to the frags that have been glued down or new eggs hatching, I guess I'll have to treat the DT with Interceptor, now that its back on the market.

My question is, I know I have to remove the crabs and shrimp but what about fish, snails and star fish? I have a large brittle and a medium serpent along with numerous aserina's, lots of snails and three fish.
 
Dipped all my acro frags in Bayer (15 ml/cup for 15 minutes) last night :blown:. Frags look good today, no bugs. Left over in the dip appears to be AEFW as well as RB's and plenty of other pods/worms.

Going to monitor and hope I don't have to treat the whole tank. Frags are relatively new so maybe they didn't spread?
