Aefw?

[rogergolf66]

Pretty sure I have received them again. Last time was for sure from a local store that currently has its door closed.

This time was an online order I just received today. this isn't has great of a video as I had from the local store I can't find my good camera this time so this is from my cell

What do you think AEFW? I hope Im wrong.

I acclimated and dipped everything as I always do and as my normal rutean I remove them to a different bucket and inspect the water they were dipped in. this is what I saw. im 90% sure. the online vender will remain name less as did the local store that I got them from back in December of 2013. if you want more info you have to PM me.

by they was the corals never made it into my tank as I caught it before hand. as I did again this time. these corals will go into QT if I have to keep them

Not sure what it is but glad you found it before putting the new corals in your tank.

Looks like a regular flat worm not a AEFW either way that sucks! Sad thing is this is the chance we all take and it SUCKS!!!

That thing looks big. Looks more like a polyclad flatworm to me (Clam/snail predator).

seems awefully big to be AEFW - thought they were tiny. Do you need my macro skills again?

 

[aguila88psi]

don't think it's an aefw or fw at all, thinking some type of snail or nudibranch

It definitely a flat worm it's curled up from the dip it's melting away. So far so good with online retailor. They called me I sent video we will c what they do.

doesn't take care of the eggs and I found the coral that was the host with the eggs on it. I have used bayer and I do have it. I don't like to use it only because the water is so white and cloudy after u can't inspect the water really good for what was on the corals.

the retailer told me he used to have polyclad flatworms months ago but he thought he got rid of them. so u may be correct. that's a lot better then AEFW but I have a very large clam I don't want to see be eaten. still waiting for him to respond since I sent him the video and the pic of the eggs.

what do use for coral dip? I've been using tlf revive forever and want to try others.

 

[rogergolf66]

I use coral rx, on everything. Revive don't kill anything really just tries to revitalize the coral from my understanding. I also dip all zoas in hydrogen peroxide after the coral rx. If the coral rx don't kill a nudi for example for some reason the hydrogen peroxide irritates them enough they start moving about and easy to spot and blow off.


By the way the online retailer gave full refund including shipping. I will order from them again in a few months. They run a fair business.

The local retailer I had this problem with before in Dec, basically said well that's how it is. Deal with it. And they had hundreds of AEFW on there coral. I leave the dead coral skeleton on a frag rack by the front door so I don't forget about being wronged by them, and to remind me not to shop there ever again.

Glad to hear that they took care of you. It sounds like you found a good supplier.

Ordering corals online are more miss then hit but its a risk you gotta take to get what you want if no one local had any to share
