I just went through treating my tank a couple weeks ago, and have to say it wasn't a huge deal....it does kill crustaceons, so if you have any treasured crabs or shrimp you should move them to a QT....otherwise, it made my acros Happy again!

Just remember to do a good big water change and run carbon about a day later give-or take (my first dose dwelled about 12 hours, then about a day each for the second and third)...and DO THE 3 TREATMENTS....it would suck to do all this and come back with the little beasts....

BTW, mine were soooo tiny that a friend who is a pro aquaculturalist by career, said they were far tinier than any he had ever seen.....

I always dip corals in interceptor even if they're not SPS... 6 hour interceptor, 10 min iodine and then a 10 second freshwater dip for flatworms (not on millis though I've heard it's not good for them)
