    Well my frags seems quite stressed already...theres some tissue lost on a couple. Think theres a possiblity of these guys not making it? Well if I dont do anything then theyre going to die anyways so might as well do my best to save them. Thanks for the help

    I also recommend interceptor. The medication helps, but so does the water changes. You will see very fast resuts.

    I purchased a frag a few weeks back. I always use Logo's Iodine dip to first see if the frags have bugs. If I see any bugs in the Lugos dip solution, I then dip them in a extra strenght dose of Interceptor. The frag I purchased had bout a dozen or so bugs in the solution. I diped the frag in a exta dose of Interceptor for bout 4 hours. The dip solution had about sixty bugs in the solution, all dead. I don't have any problems with the bugs anymore. Oh, I Always do a second dip of interceptor for all new members of my tank, except shirmp.
