AEFW resistant sps

[upsetter]

Do birdsnest & montipora seem to be resistant to the "acro" eating flatworms? Been trying to sort through the multitude of info out there & it seems so. Anyone had a problem with them on either of these sps? I know the montis have their nudi problems.
Thanks.

Yes IME same as pocci and pavona

Anything other than Acropora is resistant to Acropora-eating flatworms from what I understand.

Just as my Montipora-eating nudibranchs only devastated my Monti collection - all other stony corals were just fine.

Thanks guys, good to hear. Just basted,siphoned about a dozen of what I think are the smaller tan,mottled AEFW off an acro which never showed any signs of them. Fully polyped out & taking cyclopeeze, no recession or bite marks, just appeared out of nowhere. My tank is looking better than ever, felt like I was starting to hit my stride & now this! Bought a sixline, gonna just monitor & baste & hope for the best. Too many colonies attached to rock to dip with Levi. or Marin Pro--which looks not guaranteed to work anyway. I hope we can figure out a way to beat these things like the redbugs. I saw MSHUR is trying arrow crabs--that would be very cool. Anyway--I have some credit w/one of our RC vendors & well--always wanted a nice birdsnest Thanks!
