Looks like AEFW to me, but I wanted a second opinion. If so, has anyone sucessfully treated with TMPCC? I can pull the colonies and place them in QT and dip every 7 days for a month.

Sorry to say it but yeah AEFW. That acro in the pic is done for. Get rid of it! TMPCC will be fine. QT every acro in the tank and dip away.Check under the sps for eggs also. I would also get a six line wrasse as they like to eat all kinds of flat worms, so do many other wrasses. I would try to get some Interceptor also as it paralyzes all forms of inverts. Even something as large as an acro crab, so it will kill the AEFW too. Do a dip of interceptor and TMPCC. Sorry to hear about your pest issue. I have been there with red bugs. Good luck.

Did I miss something. Interceptor kills AEFW's?

I wouldnt be so positive so fast those worms seen there are aefw's. My first guess would be they arent. I would make sure before doing anything in any case

Go find a live smooth skinned acro and swish it in a dark bowl (dark is easier to see in) and see what comes off.

that coral is way toast of course, and if you have common flatworms they can be there just as easy.

Look around on your glass where you havent scraped well. If you see a few small flatworms there as well you dont have aefw's. In that case you just need some salifert flatworm exit

Inteceptor will do nothing and tmpcc sucks and is way stressful. Use revive or coralrx. But only use it if you actually have a problem besides one frag rtn'ing on you for other reasons

To hard to see if its AEFW. Looks like a frag missing all of its tissue.

If anything it looks like red planerea to me.

That coral is dead, trash it and examine the rest of your corals.
