      The individual dip method is probably a waste of time and effort 99% of the time. There is no way of knowing if you are getting them all, including all of the different stages of life they are in. I tried that with my tricolor valida and thought it worked. A week later they were all back. The only things in my tank that I killed were my pods and my cleaner shrimp (the ******* wouldn't let me catch him). My hermits even survived. Maybe they locked their shells and didn't come out 'till it ws over.

      there are still gunna be bugs in your tank. you can only get rid of them by dosing the whole tank... or taking the acros out, treating them, and leaving them out for a while and give the bugs in the tank nothing to feed on so they die. dipping the corals and putting them back in defeats the purpose of the dip. and when i treated with interceptor i didnt loose any of my livestock (didnt have any shrimps) the crabs were fine
