Fw is very small. Inside the tank where fish are swimming around and scared when Levi being added, flow is turbulent, it is very hard to detect that tiny little thing on the coral itself, than seeing this little thing peeled off and convulted like pods which is much larger in size. I doubt any one can or lucky enough to witness this.

Would you rather do one more (I'd say do three more personally), or potentially do it again if they make a comeback? :uzi:

Sounds accurate. My First dose pretty much all my fish hid for about a day and a half. Made me a bit nervous. Second dose less than half of my fish went hiding and only for a day. I dosed the same amount (9gm) of Prohibit both times. No AEFW seen lately.

I did 7 days for both tanks. I think it should be cut down to 6 or 5 as I had residual worms in the QT show up. But none in the display (due to having shrimp, and wrasses)

I've poked my head into this a few times. Is there like a wrap up at this point for those of us who haven't been apart of the entire discussion. I'd really like to give this a go as I'm not having the best results with basting.
Nope.. Which makes me a bit suspect.

When I dosed, the worms peeled off and filled the water column. They were definitely dead and floating around. Before treatment when I basted the corals, I can see the worms swimming around as they flew off the corals. When treating, they were floating dead.

So far so good. I only did 3 treatments, but like I mentioned before, I have multiple wrasses and shrimp that would pick on the corals or the sand in case there were twitching FWs around. I am going to wait and check the corals before proceeding with another treatment.
But my QT definitely needs a few more. I saw some new bites, and had a few monti eggs hatch. I am going to up to dose to make sure these guys die

I know this for a fact that shrimps eat bugs and other critteres if found.
I blogged about them here.. http://blog.fragd.it/2009/10/06/the-underutilization-of-cleaner-shrimps/
Camel, blood, cleaner even peppermint are all good 'cleaners'.
right, i have see on zeo-site info regarding camel shrips..i have two cleanr shrips and they only clean my tangs
Yeah camel shrimp work but you cant add them to your tank , you have to have a QT tank. Take the infested coral and place it in QT tank for 20 to 30min and thay will eat all the AEFW and Eggs but if you leave it in there longer thay will eat the sps.
