Should I treat new SPS frags with Interceptor during QT?

[tanked37]

So I have a 20g QT tank for my 100g display. I have some SPS corals in QT (4 right now for like 3 days). I dip all corals in Coral Rx. Here's my problem, I have one SPS coral in my display right now and after lots of research it has red bugs (not many, but I see a few). Apparently Coral Rx doesn't do anything for those. Learn something new everyday in this hobby.

I feel like it I should just take it out of the display put it in the QT tank and just treat all of the corals at once with Interceptor, since that's pretty much the only for sure thing. Should I do this? And, should I just plan on doing this with all new SPS frags b/c apparently all my other precautions still failed. Thanks

For the time being, Bayer is the best dip available perhaps to be replaced by "all out". Careful observation of the frag is essential as well.

Hmm, I have heard about it. So, I should take the coral out, bayer dip it, rinse, and QT?

Should I just dip all the corals i have in QT in bayer, and then put them back in QT or just treat the whole QT tank with bayer? Also is bayer ok with all corals or SPS only?

Dipping and QT ing are the way to go. Three weeks in QT from the date you add the last new frag to the QT.
