Inverts (Hermit crabs) and Seachem Metroplex

[Santiimari]

Hi guys, I am using seachem metro and Prazi bonded to Reef Frenzy to treat stringy poo.
Will my crabs who eat the leftover food die??? Does anyone know? Thanks

The prazi won't be an issue and the metro will be o.k. unless they get a lot of it. Feed slowly and sparingly of course, so that uneaten food is minimized. That said, I am not a strong proponent of the way people mix meds into their foods nowadays - there is no dosage control really: the amount of medication is unknown, the amount bonded to the food isn't known, and the fish's weight is unknown, as is how much they eat. The result is that you cannot say how much medication your fish are actually getting. I posted an article about that issue here:
