I just got this frag and gave dip in 1/4gal of water 5 drops of Flatworm Exit, strong Interceptor and Iodine 5 drops for 1.5 hours. Is it enough to kill flatworms ?

Red bugs are minor if this piece is in QT. I am no expert of Flatworms, bu I think those are what was referred to above.

Flatworm Exit is useless on AEFW.

Interceptor is a three stage treatment. It will take care of the adults in the first round, but the eggs are not affected by it.

The adult AEFW will come off in Iodine/Lugos, but the eggs of them are not affected by it either.

i dont see anything wrong with the coral...at least i dont see any bite marks indicative of AEFW..i do see 1 red bug...and if it is in your main tank then i assume the rest of your acros now have have or have them and have spread to this one...

Funny.......I don't see any. Maybe I'm crazy, but I don't see any redbugs on that coral at all.

You didn't have that circled a minute ago. But even so, you can't say that is a redbug?!? Get real man. That is just a dot on a photo. I've seen a bunch of redbugs....none looked like that dot!

[danfrith]

I agree it does look like a red bug thats circled. It stands out more in the original pic.

I've had RB 4 months ago and went true 3 Interceptor treatments now are those AEFW bite marks ? I got frag from tank with "regular" flatworms. Here's better pic.

Ive had red bugs three times in almost as many years and have been living with AEFWs for over a year now. IMO, there is absolutley nothing wrong with that coral as far as the pic shows. It might be too small, but definately not infested with anything.

Thanks, I freaked seeing RD while taking random pictures so I might by to worry about AEFW.

i have had AEFW and i dont see any bute marks on that coral.the bite marks i saw on mine were clearly visible and kind of clustered into little groups of bite marks.did you dip the coral in TMPCC and turkey baste it off to check for AEFW's?

I placed this frag + 2 birdsnest frags + purple rim monti frags in 1/4 gal of water, added "cube " of Inrerceptor tablet aprox. 1/16" crushed and dissolved in fresh water and added 10 drops of Kent Lugol's and added 5 drops of Salifert Flatworm Exit. Placed airline to produce circulation for 1-1.5 hours and blasted frags at the end. Didn't find any pests.
Is this dip cocktail strong enough to kill AEFW or other FW ???

[CMcNeil]

not in my opinion,it the water doesnt look brownish from the TMPCC then it probably isnt strong enough to stun or kill flatworms.when i nuked my corals for FW's the water was med/dark brown.
