***Update on the 2nd test***
After 2-1/2 hours in a mixture of 15 drops of the medication and 10 drops of FWE here are the results.
I removed the coral from the QT tank and took it to the table to remove any egg bunches that there were and to inspect for flatworms.
I could not find any visible flatworms at all (which is not saying much since they are darned hard to see in the first place).
However, and this may be a BIG however, the coral had a lot of mucousy areas.
It didn't look like normal coral slime, and I know me some coral slime.
Is it possible that this medication could have made the flatworms partially disintegrate or breakup into snot like worms?
I slowly drained the QT tank and other than a bunch of mucous here and there I did not see any flatworm corpses.
Bear in mind though, that the only "flatworm corpse" I have to reference are those that died in fresh water dips were I sacrificed a frag to see if it worked.
Those flatworms ballooned up into conical shapes and became milky white(ish).
Another thing worth noting.
After taking the coral out of the QT tank at such a high dosage seemed to do no harm to the coral at all.
It had moderate polyp extension seconds before removal and still had its color.
If it dies tonight or over the next month or so I will definitely let everyone know.
I will also report if I see any additional flatworm damage on this coral.
