pull the inverts/snails out of the tank leave in another tank or bucket with powerhead and heater, dose the tank heavy the first time (2x recommended dose) then dose every 7 days for 4-6 cycles to kill any remaining hatched eggs. ime the eggs don't die but the exposed arthropods do. good luck, nasty stuff

pull skimmer airline off leave pump circulating (turn it down first, or it will overflow)
pull any GFO or carbon reactors offline
be ready to siphon out lots of bristleworms if you have alot, this will knock out a big population of them.

this will kill off most pods aswell ime, be ready to get some chaeto from a reputable source after or save some sand/chaeto/rock with pods in another container to reseed tank

same as you, black arthropods, (black bugs) theres different types but most likely the small ones from AUS that are super hardy and come back rapidly, don't take this as a victory yet, im glad it worked this time around but you will 100% have to do the followup doses or you will see them in about 2 weeks to a month eating coral again.
