AEFW dip poll

[hobogato]

just to play devil's advocate, did you try placing any dead AEFW back in unmedicated tank water to confirm that they were dead and not just severly stunned?

the only reason i ask is this was what happened when i tested fluke tabs a while back. the worms appeared dead, but when they were placed back in unmedicated water at least 20% were still alive.


- just wondering if it was the same for the other dips

HOBO. I took your idea and went with it.

I dipped a infected coral in revive. No turkeybaste, no swirling. Just placed it in the water. They ALL came off on their own OR some disintegrated on the coral not to be seen.

They did not move in the revive solution and when put in clean tank water , they did not move there. They looked dead. Left them there for hours, came back, and still dead.

I then took the coral and put it in clear water, agressively turkey basted, shook, swirled. Nothing came off.

Revive works within seconds. You put the coral in, the worms run for the hills right away. Then they stop running and die within minutes.

I kept it in for 15 minutes but all the action was within the first 2.
