I agreed with him, but in the same breath I said we might loose $100 in crabs but we are loosing a lot more $$$$$ in corals.
I will add one more input. IME interceptor was effective in killing these bugs, but it was not until I left it in for 24 hours that my tank was finally rid of them.

I treated 3 times using the 8 hour soak method, and while they were always reduced, I always found a couple moving around a few days later.

After I did a 24 hour treatment, they were gone completely.

The above said, the 24 treatment caused more secondary losses than the 8 hour treatments.

Have fun at MACNA, had a great time last year.
