Plus why use something not found on the reef which is potentially fatal to all crustaceans?? Think like this, say u have an expensive shrimp (ik that cbs and scs are both on the more expensive side of things as far as shrimp go) and it gets caught in a rock crevice, now the only way to get it out is to tear apart ur aquascape and accidentally crushing an expensive acro colony, see all that cld be avoided by just using Mother Natures own remedy for RB
 
Like, say, copper band butterfly they eat aptasia and will end up starving once it runs out, same with the DFP tho if they r weened off them onto bs or pods them ur good but yes they r known to eradicate RB from acro colonies thereby saving the piece

Pipefish will not eradicate RB, once the fish is gone the RB will return. They merely keep the numbers in check.
 
try dipping the corals with Bayer as a dip solution once a week for 10 weeks. Bayer can get rid of these for you.
good luck
 
Thank you.I'm going for intercepter and gonna dose the whole tank once I order some.
 
coral rx kills them too but obviously not a whole tank cure
