Red bugs on SPS


How can I check for red bugs on SPS?
Are red bugs visible with the naked eye?

I heard of the Interceptor treatment, I will be going to the LFS to get some SPS, should I treat all frags, I guess is worth it, isn't it?
I think I answer my own question.

Yes they are visible, more so after you get used to seeing them.

I just finished the 3rd and last week of Interceptor treatments.

Quarantine everything always. I will be from this point forward. I had a pod population in the affected tank that supported both a fat and happy mandarin and a fat and happy sixline. They will be living in another tank for an indefinite period of time as all of the pods are dead as well.

It depends on who I get the frags from whetherI quarantine. Some people I REALLY trust I dont' most of the time I soak the the new frags in interceptor for 6 hours with a heater and a pump. Any red bugs would die with that.
