Treat the tank with Interceptor. A dip will do very little good as they jump off when disturbed and are great swimmers! The interceptor treatment works well though it will kill many of your pods as well. If you have a refugium I would suggest taking off line during the treatment to help that part.

Pipefish are cool but really tiny and if you have a overflow box they are gone in no time. Someone gave me one and he was all over the tank for a week or so then gone. Not powerful swimmers so the overflow is always a threat. Great little fish for a nano along with some other tiny fish.

does that in any way tho harm your corals or fish? I know I have to take the crabs out and my pods will parish, how about my bristle star, he good to stay? And can your over dose and have it harm anything? I guess I'm still confused about it  |
