I’ve been doing some reading on Euphyllia eating white bugs on my torch coral. This coral in specific i got bought from someone, i have hammers and torches in the tank before i added the new torch and something seemed off from the get go. One day i saw some flourencent bugs crawling on it and low and behold it was white bugs. The torch is doing great but retracts during the day around 4-5 times so these bugs are irritating it. With a UV light and lights off i can see how bad the infestation is and it’s only on the one torch, haven’t seen it on any other coral. The question i have is i don’t want to dose the whole tank with interceptor and just want to dip the one torch affected. After reading through numerous threads one person did a successful dip with interceptor instead of dosing the whole tank. I have the interceptor in hand, 23mg with prazi( chewable pill) and want to see if anyone has done a interceptor dip at what dosage with how much tank water. Thanks!
Interceptor Dip?

Since they're nice and easy to see, seems to me that mechanical removal would be the thing to try.
A piece of air line tubing + a piece of rigid tubing fit to the end would make a good siphon device to suck them off the coral. You can bend the rigid tubing to a 10º-20º angle to make it easier to get into nooks and cranny's.
If it's just one frag, seems like it shouldn't take long.
