I had my first vermited explosion back in 2012 in another tank. At the time I had high nutrients and low flow and the webs were everywhere. The rocks looked spiky as all get out.

No it is not a reef safe treatment. Do not use CP in a tank with inverts you want to keep alive, coral included.

No, CP isn't reef safe. This is an advanced option for QT and fish only tanks. Fish only meaning no inverts and no corals.
As an advanced topic and knowing that few actually have experience using it you will want to first research the forums and read through exactly what to do and what not to do. If you are still in your first couple of years maintaining a marine tank, this may not even be a good choice for you. However, with proper knowledge, its one of the best options out there.

now for the ?, if doing a reboot, new rock but all hardward will be used again. i am thinking of gettung a reefer 450. so i would have another tank. the question is my poor fish been with us for years. is there any part of the vermetid life cycle that can be dragged along with the fish or shrimp? thru feces, slime coat etc.... snails, clams, conch are obvious.

Have a bucket with freshwater same PH and temp of the tank then a bucket with methylene Blue and a bucket with regular salt water . This is the procedure that I do when buy fish ...after this process they go in the QT. Going in the display tank they have just a blue bath

I dont think coral snow itself will kill them. What i am hoping is it will reduce or stop their spread. It is bound to reduce their food source.

Ok, here is something... or maybe nothing...
I recently introduced 3 fish into my DT. Prior to that I was feeding them a variety of foods soaked in metronidazole or kanaplex... this was about a 12 day process. Because I didn't want to prepare more than one batch of food, I would medicate everyone's food. The DT got medication as well... couldn't hurt to treat for internal parasites even though they are all clean. Anyway, since I have completed this set of treatments I noticed far fewer webs, especially on the smaller forms. The larger ones are still there but the webs also seem to be reduced. Not sure if this is real or imagined but it seems tangible to me. I'm planning to gauge out some of the larger ones with a chisel as well... let the fish eat their ground up bodies. That is always fun. Anyway, we'll see if this continues to progress in the positive direction. |

i am currently in planning phase of a "reboot" so scqred of any cross contamintation.
my plan is to empty my tank, move the fish/shrimp to a tank i have my dry rock cycling in, i am assuming these buggers cant be carried in on. get all my rock out. sand out. snails, conches, crabs OUT. refill tank with hot tap water possibLY some bleach or vinegar over fill sump let equipment run overnight. get all equipment out clean with 50/50 vinegar and water. move in new tank, hooked up fill with hot tap let run. drain. set up tank. i have one torch that is my love. its a local specialty and lfs sells the torch for 260$ per head. i wish so bad there was a way to treat the torch for veremtids that wouldnt kill the corals. of course there is detailed manual removal. anything else?? i would love to be able to keep this coral. one last note over the last year i have kinda given up on tank and jist let nature take its course. i now have a DISCOSOMA FOREST hydroids also popped up. HOWEVER, the vermetids are problably 10% of their previous plague proportions. i think they were just smothered right out. Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk |

Careful with hot tap water, I’ve cracked a tank filling it with hot tap water, luckily it was just a 10g QT.
