AEFW egg picture

[izzypop]

So I have been slowly losing my acros over the last two weeks and have been watching for AEFW's and sure enough I got them. I did start dipping my acros in TMPCC recently but they must have got in before I started dipping. Luckily I'm in transition to my new tank and have everything in a quarantine tank for easy dipping. Here is a pic of some bite marks and eggs. Pretty easy to id the signs once you see it once. I never saw the AEFW on the coral. Only the bite marks, damage and eggs. Dipped them and you can see them fall off easy.

Try a 14 day quarantine period with all your acros in the QT, use fluke tabs on day 2 and day 9, then when you're ready for the main tank, dip again in tmpcc.

I've heard good things about the fluke tabs... What dosage would you recommend?

14 day is not enough time. after reading all the the AEFW treads it seem that a 4 week treatment in needed for a QT. here i s a link w/ their lifespan and gestation period
