Same as Dez in this case. I also double my concentration from the bottle's instructions.

Revive for 30 minutes, then shake the hell out of it so all the little critters fall off

Default Acro crabs

Make sure you remove the acro crabs before dipping.

I use CoralRX and dip it for about 10 mins. Kills everything except the coral.

Treated with interceptor while still in the bag floating in the sump for approx 3h (or whenever I eventually remember about them).

Acropora get an interceptor treatment overnight. Everything else usually just goes straight into the tank. However most of what I add comes from friends tanks so I already know the pests if any.

Ocean Aquatics carries it local here. It's $19.99. They could probably ship you some out. I believe Oceanic has it in stock as well.

Use caution when dipping with this stuff as deep waters only can handle half the dip time or they usually dont make it. Read that on reef central after I had it happen to me.
