AEFW options

[ryanb91]

I have aefw and was wondering what the options were for getting rid of these? Ihave a lot of SPS that attatched to big hunks of LR and are pretty big sized colonies. I just blasted them off with a baster and scraped the eggs I could see. Is there another way to fight these besides taking out all my sps and putting them in QT for weeks? I dont have a QT set up now but could easily if need be. Just wondering what in-tank treatment anyone has had sucess with
Thanks

There aren't any in-tank treatments that I know of. You can dip each of the colonies weakly in something like Coral Rx/Revive. At this point a QT won't really help.

I have a colony in QT with AEFW that I've been treating. The tank is set at 84F has a huge amount of flow and I dip in Coral Revive twice a week. I haven't seen any flatworms eggs in weeks now. So the treatment seems to be working.
