Not sure about the OP

What crustaceans did you lose? Hermits?
I lost a cleaner and a few peppermints. They would not go into the trap. And my pod population obviously.

Had it to do over, I would've dosed on a Saturday morning and waited around until they got groggy enough to capture and move. I've read that this is a thing.

You used Dr G’s or interceptor?

You just break it up the best you can and mix it with tank water then add it? All my acros are encrusted so I have to treat the whole tank, not looking forward to this at all.
Pulverize it. Add it to HOT RODI to help it dissolve.

Try to remove shrimp crabs. If you can't, you may be able to save them as this stuff will stun them and then you can catch them.
