Interceptor (Red bug treatment) Anemone safe?

Tmoriarty · 05/20/2012, 06:56 PM

I have a good sized magnifica anemone in my tank and just saw that I got redbugs from a recent frag swap. I dipped all frags in a Revive bath for 15/20 minutes but apparently was still unable to prevent the addition of these pests.

I am curious if anyone who has anemone has used the red bug treatment on their tanks without killing their anemone. The anemone is far more important then the acros and I would rather them die then my anemone, any advice?

No problem with my ritteri at all. Dosed heavily, left in longer with no issues. There were a few btas in as well and also fine.
