Hydroid problem need help

[Mat1018]

Everyday I'm sucking out at least 20 of them in there jellyfish form and I cant beat them it's been a few months now of everyday doing this need help. Beside the they will go away on there own or won't hurt anything the tank is for dwarfs seahorses so they can and do kill the fry. And I do decap brine shrimp but I didn't wen I started noob mistake but always do now. I found on the Internet that you can use a dog dewormer to kill them but I don't want to chance it unless someone knows or has done it. So any good help would be great thanks.

Move the seahorses for now, put them in a 5 gallon bucket with an airline for a couple of days. Panacur is the drug that should be used to treat those pests. I got Panacur from Dan Underwood at Seahorse Source

Same drug I found. So that will pretty much kill everything in the tank?

Panacur will pretty much kill any herbivore, most corals some omnivores but usually doesn't kill carnivores. If you use it, get the suspension version. Used properly, it doesn't have the long term effects that granules have.

Panacur is a deworming agent. It is not only used for dogs, but most farm animals and even fish.

Hydroids can come in many different ways. Cross contamination from another tank, macros, live rock and even with the dwarfs if they are wild caught.
