Need Interceptor!

[cabrego]

Hi all,

 

I found quite a few red bugs on my acropora and I figured it is time to treat it with interceptor. Does anyone know of a vet in the NOVA area that understands interceptor is used to treat red bugs?

 

Thanks!

Have you thought about trying to talk to an exotic vet - like SEAVs?

No, I have never heard of them. Looks like a neat vet.

May be worth a try - they only see exotics. Pricey, but definitely one of the best around.

How bad are they? Is interceptor the only cure for red bugs?

I took my seahorse to Feathers, Scales, and Tails Veterinary Hospital up in Westminster, not sure if that is to far but Dr. Heather Bowles took good care of Stevie my seahorse. I think she normally deals with Koi but she was really knew her stuff about seahorses so I think she might be able to help if you can't find anywhere else.

I have a colony and a frag that have quite a few on them on them but hey appear to be localized on only those corals. My plan is to dip them for as long as it take to kill the bugs. There is a vet down the block from my house so I will probably go in and talk to them first.

 

 

 

Thanks for the tips all.
