TLF Coral Revive: Does it kill redbugs?

[shelburn61]

I know it's effective against AEFW and seems to work on most inverts...

Do I still need to do an Interceptor dip?

 

[shelburn61]

?

 

[Cadu]

As far as i know no. Only interceptor kills red bugs.

TLF has killed everything ime... I have not had experience with redbugs however, but I don't see why it would not kill them as well.

You dip, and everything, and I mean EVERYTHING runs for the hills.

yeah pinesol tends to do that to lil critters

That's my experience too. Would be nice to not worry about 6+ hour Interceptor dips on new frags...

Kills them much quicker than Interceptor IME.

Anyone else?

I have dipped corals infested with RB and they scatter of of the coral then die. The only thing I am not sure of is eggs. Also I have not had a follow up infestation on those corals.

If there is a good side to RBs, it is that they carry their eggs rather than lay them. So if you kill the bug, you kill the eggs too

How long do you dip for? Is the dosage as per instructions or different?
I dipped a colony with RB and most survived, now I'm thinking the solution may have been a little diluted.

 

[Frankenpora]

I use about 1.5x dose to be safe.
If you do it in a clear container you will see them swimming around. I only dip about 15 min, but they come off within a
minute or so.
