Red Bugs - Interceptor in tank treatment questions

[dburt520]

Not sure how I got them (I haven't bought anything alive in months - no fish, snails, crabs, corals - nothing!!), but I do have them.

I have done a bit of reading about Interceptor and treating the entire tank (My tank is 99% sps - QT tank, or removing fully encrusted mini colonies is not really an option).

I have a rainbow BTA and a clam that I am concerned with during the in tank treatment period... I have read numerous times to removes crabs/snails/shrimp, however the bubble tip is often lumped into that group (as an invert, not as a crustacean). I am not sure if the bubble tip and clam are OK to leave in the tank or not during the treatment.

What are you thoughts?

Thanks
Dave

I would remove them, just to be on the safe side, but QT them because they might carry RB on them. sorry to hear. but do it right the first time so you wont have to do it again!

There's a sticky up top regarding sps and treatment check those out.

Cugly, I read through it, a few times now. I'll re read it again...
