I wanted to see when I had red bugs in my personal tank if they would actually kill the coral over time... they did. Call me jaded or heartless but if you won't let me easily catch you, you're going in an interceptor bath for the sake of my corals.

Does interceptor affect fish or only crustaceans?

I had to do 2 interceptor treatments on my 58 gallon. Pod population took a hit, but bounced back. Not all pods will be affected by interceptor....some will survive by hiding in the rock work. Nick

When I did a red bug treatment on my old tank, I presumed that all pods would die from the Interceptor, so I set up a temporary tank that contained some LR from the fuge and all of the emerald crabs and shrimp I could rescue from the main tank. At the end of the treatment period the crabs and shrimp were returned to the tank, and the LR (with its resident pod population) went back into the fuge. After a few weeks the tank was again teeming with pods.

those of you that have treated with interceptor, what kind of change in your SPS did you see afterwards? Mine look pretty good already in spite of having red bugs. I have a couple of browned out corals, though....

I had a fat mandarin fish before I treated my 60g for red bugs... Unfortunatley, he did not take to frozen/dried foods or even live long enough to see the pod population bounce back. However, none of my shrimp or crabs died and my corals looked better than ever. My 112g cube has no pod dependent fish in it or even shrimp just in case I need to add interceptor .

I have approx. 200 lbs of LR.
I used 2 part apoxy to attach my frags to LR. Added few Aussie acans from Captivereef to my collection.
