red bug / interceptor help

I recently noticed redbugs on my sps. I hear that you can use Interceptor to kill them. How much do you use? How do you use it? I hear it kills other crustaceans. Does it affect other inverts? I have triacnid clams, tiger cucumbers, sand-sifting starfish, long spine urchin, snails, ect.

I also heard that I could move my hermit crabs into a Q.T with no acros for a week and they would be redbug free?

look up the thread on reefs.org and it tells you everything step by step. as far as the hermits go you should prabably qt for a longer period just to be safe.

if you can move the corals to a qt instead and treat them that would be best
