seeking red bug advice

My tank has been red bug free since I did interceptor treatments over a year ago. The other day I added an acro that I recently aquired to my SPS tank and about 24 hours later I saw the bugs on that acro. Quite a few of them actually. So I removed it right away and put it back in a seperate holding tank I have running which I will treat seperatley.

Would the recommendation in this situation be to just wait and observe the other acros for the bugs and treat then. (this is what I am leaning towards) Or is it inevitible that I will get them and should I do one treatment right away and kill any bugs that might have been transfered. Im thinking that if I do one treatment now it might save me from doing multiple treatments down the road since they probably havent had a chance to multiply yet. I do have a fair number of Scarlet hermits that I would have to remove plus a few acro crabs that I really hate to lose and Im not sure if I will be able to get them out. That is whats making me lean towards waiting and observing.

just wondering if anyone else has been in this situation and looking for opinions. OK now i'm off to the vet to pick up some interceptor.......... Thanks in advance for advice.
 
I will wait and see if any of the Red bug fly out to a different acros in your tank. Don't make that mistake again you only need to do a six-seven hour treatment for the new comers.
