Can you transport RB's or their larvae on hermit crabs, non Acropora corals or anything else that you might remove before treating with Interceptor?

Thanks

yes, red bugs can be on other coral or rock...possibly snails, but can not stay alive without acropora. I am 100% possitive I got my first red bugs on a montipora cap.

I thought that monti's were safe from these bugs? Do the seriatopora attract the bugs as well? I was under the impression that only Acropora attracted the RB's

I think what chrisaggie is implying is that they can be transported on other animals not that they had an affect on his montipora. They just came in on them..
