I got worms! HELP!!!

[moevilla]

AEFW!!! Need Interceptor or anything that will kill these bastards before all my sps die. Display tank infected. Removing all sps to quarantine tanks for treatment. Already lost many colonies. Please let me know if you have treatment (does flatworm exit work on these guys?) or know where I can buy some!

I have interceptor LMK

 

[moevilla]

Thx for responding. Is interceptor better than lugols iodine to treat AEFW?

 

[Wicked Color]

Interceptor is typically used for redbugs, and will kill most other inverts as well, lugols is not really anything more than an anti bacterial/anti fungal dip.
Dipping to get the adults can work, but you still have to go through and get eggs by hand.

Correct me if I'm mistaken.
It seems to me that there was a speaker that came here a few years ago from the Henry Doorly zoo in Omaha (Mitch Carl maybe) that
said that the best method he was able to use with AEFW's was blasting them with RO/DI water with a baster and letting the fish
eat them as they came off the coral.

Mike at aqua imports had them in his display and I think that was the method he used.

 

[Tajjo]

What else kills them?

 

[phillipj2]

Flatworm exit I have some.

 

[Wicked Color]

Again only the adults, the eggs need a little more hands on than that.

Thanks all for the responses. I have just finished off my bottle of flatworm exit, hope it does the trick.
