Looks like I'll be nuking my tank :(

Easy to get rid of these. Get a small jar, tie a piece of string around the top, add some fresh fish as bait and hang it in the tank at night. I cleaned my 90g of these in about 20 minutes.

Oh, pull it out every couple minutes and dump the isopods, repeat until there are no more in the jar.

Also wondering if interceptor would kill these?

I just read that article, glad I didn't read it before my fishing trip. It makes it sound hopeless.
Seriously, a spice jar and 20 minutes caught 8 isopods out of my tank. Never saw another after that. It was kinda fun too

There are a few solutions in this article:

I've read of a few people trying to trap them but they always make their way back....is it really possibly to completely rid them all??

How did you identify them ?? Do you have a picture ? Are your sure your not mixing them up with something else?

They're quite big, and match the photos if you google them.

Well I had been watching them crawling around (and multiply) for awhile thinking they were the 'good' kind of Pods (I'm an extreme noob and google everything lol). Well, the other night I had spotted a crab hitchhiker so I was setting a trap to catch him. thats when one latched on to my arm and drew blood I figured they probably weren't so 'friendly' and started researching and came across the Cirolanids.

I cought a bunch with a chunk of shrimp in a glass, just kept pulling it out and getting rid of the isopods, took 1 or 2 nights but i never seen them again
