Morning inspection. I can see a few, but none is moving. they seems to be eitehr dead or barely holding to the acro.
sorry for blurry pciture, but they are small and hard to get zoomed on.

Great vid and pictures. So, did you do three interceptor dips or just oneso far? It looked as if the polyps came back out in those first pictures after the dipping. Are you feeling the interceptor is the answer?

I already have a 6line and leopard wrasse.
Try this, stop feeding your fish for a few days, maybe once those wrasses begin to starve they will start to pay attention to those bugs.
You have nothing to loose or risk on this one. Fish should be fine without food for several days. And maybe you'll get lucky and have the wrasses eradicate those bugs.

Thanks for sharing btw.
