I do not believe I was off topic with my response. I stated that fenbendazol is an awesome cure and then said hi to KJ.
Was I in the wrong?

Is it really wierd that now I kind of wish that I had a pico tank for all these amazingly cool pest species?!? Those things are crazy looking...

That would be a creepy but awesome tank!

Interceptor is pretty gentle in my experience. I am tagging along to see the results. I appreciate other people's experience in reef keeping. Good luck.

Have you used interceptor to eradicate spiders before?

Hello
Can I get an update on what is the best approach to eradicate the acro eating type of sea spiders?

I found this spider a while back on an acro, but it looks a lot different then what you are posting pics of. The research I did indicated that they have no known natural predators because they offer no nutritional value, come out mostly at night, and are very difficult to see. They are basically vampires, they insert an appendage into the coral and literally suck the life out of your coral. Their limbs are one cell. Watching it move around was really creepy, it moved so slow and deliberately.

I was able to knock this guy off in a 6 cup Tupperware container with tank water and about 12 drops of Lugols. They are not very common and not a lot of info on how to treat for them.

I'd suggest your friend tries a few different treatments in a separate tank and see what works before going crazy on a full tank treatment that may or may not work.

Any update on findings? I have found these same exact spiders in my zoas, plus tons of eggs. Thanks
