I did a bunch of reading on this topic, and it appears that the bugs are dependant on acros for survival. They apparently die within a week or less when they don't have an acro to live on. Thus, you can pull your acros out and treat them in a seperate tank from your system, then leave them there for at least a week ensuring any left in the main tank will die off.

Treatment is either the Interceptor dosing or using a Lugol's solution dip. Both are apparently effective treatments and are not known to be detrimental to the coral. If you do the Interceptor treatment, there is varying accounts of mortality to other crustation populations in the tank. Some report high mortality of all, while other report little or none. The Lugol's dip method was shown to be a bit harder on the coral if it was all ready weakened by the infestation, but not so much so for a healthy coral. Of course you would have to keep them in a seperate tank until you were certain none remained in the main tank to reinfest as dipping does not treat the whole tank.

Of course the standard disclaimers were always presented with this information. There has not been a significant amount of research on these bugs to make a full determination of their lifecycle and habitat requirements for survival. Likewise, the treatments are not fully researched to account for all variables.

I'm afraid I did not keep track of all the posts I found on the topic, but the best ones were on Reef Central and Reef Frontiers as I recall. One of the best and most credible was by Eric Borenman on Reef Central. If you research those sites you will find a ton of reading.
