Killing Acro red bugs?

[Mrfish55]

I recently recieved some stunning corals from a fellow Canreefer (you know who you are, thanks a bunch!) Only problem was they were infected with the infamous red acro bugs, I did a little research reguarding killing the little buggers off without killing the coral itself, after discussing the matter with the local vet (and explaining what it was all about) and reviewing the trials using Advantage for treating dogs, we decided to give Milbemax a try (heart worm med. for kittens) the only difference we could find was that the effective ingredient (Milbemycin Oxime) was a lower dose (4mg as opposed to the 24mg in Advantage). Milbemax also contains 10mg Praziquantel (primary ingredient in PraziPro (Hikari) fish medication) which works by increasing the permeability of the membranes of the parasite which in turn allows the Milbemycin Oxime to work more effectivly (in theory). I dosed the 30 gal quarantine tank with 1/2 of one pill (pulverized and disolved into tank water)yesterday at 1:00pm, by 5:00pm last night there was no visible signs of live red bugs on any of the corals (you could clearly see hundreds of dead ones floating in the current) and today all corals are displaying good color and amazing polyp extension. I plan on a repeat treatment every five days for three treatments total to ensure complete kill off before placing into the main display, I will keep all posted as to the final results.
