Since I've been keeping sps's, I'm wondering if it would be safe to start using interceptor in my system...especially since I haven't dipped none of them. I know it kills red bugs, nudibranch's, flatworms, etc., but will it also kill my other inverts such as stars, shrimp, pods, snails, or...

Hello everyone, I need a lil help making a decision...I have a 1.5 in long polyp leather about a few inches from my sps corals, and was wondering if I should move him or just get rid of him? The only reason why I wouldn't want to get rid of him is because he's the only coral from my old 55 gal...
