New worm parasite found on LPS corals

[Reefflections]

I know this is for us LPS keepers here.But there is a new post on the SPS forum with up to date photo's.The reason I'm posting this here.These same worms have wiped out my Elegance,Brain and Echinophillia.These worms will eat LPS and SPS corals.I've tried Sea Chem reef dip.And dip 5 minutes longer then mentioned here.I've even fragged a large section ahead of this lost tisses dip and super glue it.It worked for awhile but they came back.After all these dips and fragging these corals are no longer with me now.But justs a heads up for these worms that can kill.Has anyone else notice these on any of there LPS corals.If so chime in here.And what methods were used.I also wonder if they possible even live in the sand bed?

The orginal post is here in the "SPS forum"."New acropora parasite worms".It's 2 pages now with pic's included here.I posted here because I've had problems with some of my LPS corals.It seems they know what this is.But can they flow threw the system and cause problems with other corals.

Argh!! Someone runs into this room yelling fire, because someone in another room "thought" he saw smoke.

Not the same thing

Angelas problem appeared to be an arthropod of some sort silimar to or in fact red bugs and in your thread I don't see any proof as to what it was one way or the other.

It's like saying, yeah my dog died after eating dinner....must be his food.
Never mind that he got run over by a truck earlier in the day.
