It kills inverts(small and big). Hard to get out of our systems. There are test kits available. Part of the reason caution should be taken with adding water to your tank(with new fish/corals). Alot of stores(unless you have good LFS's) will use copper for treating. There are products available, but, don't know about the results. I have been fortunate not having a copper problem.

Copper will adhear to rock and equipment then slowely leech out. It kills inverts and corals. If treating with copper be sure to use a copper test kit to maintain the correct dosage. At high concentrations it kills everything.
