Red bugs - help!

I noticed one of my corals was not extending as usually and after looking closer noticed what looks to be a handfull of the "red bugs" crawling around on it.

After reading up it looks like the Interceptor (dog medicine) is the known treatment but it requires a prescription. After calling and stopping by a couple local vets no one would prescribe it for aquarium use.

Is this still the best treatment out there for the red bugs and if so I need some help getting a hold of some because I'm not having any luck.

Thanks

And remember that you need to buy it for your dogs/horse, etc. Your gonna have a hard time getting it if your telling them your planning on using it in a method other than intended (ie aquarium use)
