I'm sure you've done the research on red bugs on the net can't remember now it's been so long but once a while back I got the bugs too and it was not fun I basically stripped the reef of all sps and monti's and placed them in a quarintine for alittle over a week, sadly to say the quarintine tank was a 5g and I lost 2 frags but the rest survived. Sort of an ich like bug without a host for acouple days they die also they dont lay eggs on the sand but like I said I forgot how they multiply so please don't quote me, but interceptor was used for 36hrs then a water change and quarintine for 8 days all is well now and definately they are gone so try finding the post on red bugs fully read it and understand how their life cycle works then choose your option. The reason why I didn't choose doing the tank is because 1- smells funky 2-didn't feel like trying to catch the inverts(couldnt catch cleaners) 3-it was easier to go in with a screw driver and unmount frags btw reef glue or putty costs alot so weigh the options I never did mount the frags back just have them sitting on top hopefully this was helpfull.
