Interceptor and Shrimp

[Rickyrooz]

How likely is it that Interceptor will kill my Cleaner and Fire Shrimp if I do not remove them from the display tank while treating for red bugs? My tank is 120 gallons with a 30 gallon sump. I plan to use 1 pill to treat the whole system (about 100 gallons of water). I made two different bottle traps, one with a 16 ounce Gatorade bottle and one with a 32 ounce Gatorade bottle. The shrimp know the food is in the bottle but don't want to venture into the bottle. Any suggestions? Should I just treat the tank with Interceptor and when the shrimp are a little out of it I can scoop them up or is this a risky option?

I just started a red bug treatment yesterday and asked the same question. If you can't get them out, I was told that it will stun them but probably won't kill them. Another reefer on here dosed with coral banded shrimp in the display and did not kill them. I pulled out our cleaner shrimp but it is only a 20g display which made it quite easy. I was told some places even run it in their systems constantly to prevent against them.

when I did the treatment My 2 copper band ad a peppermint survived. During treatment they seemed a little sluggish but no permanent damage
