Prazi Pro, reef safe treatment for AEFW?

[Rickyrooz1]

A fellow reefer told me that Prazi Pro is a reef safe treatment for AEFW. Does anyone have experience with this treatment or if it even will kill AEFW without affecting the inverts/bacteria?

I ran across this and since noone ever answered I guess I would bump it. Also please post any experiences you have had in the reef with it. Thanks

I have used as a dip, knocks the little boogers off pretty good, once again does not kill eggs. Never tried it for whole tank treatment

Any one else?

I've used it successfully as a dip as well but never considered using it in my display. I've always been under the impression that it is not reef safe.
again, it doesn't kill eggs..

Praziquantel is a dewormer. It will not harm your biological filter, corals, etc. It is completely reef safe, and I have used it in my display when I suspected a fish had intestinal worms. However, it can kill feather dusters, and bristle worms, so keep that in mind.

As far as its effectiveness with flatworms, it does not kill red planaria flatworms or AEFW (in my experience). I have had flatworms live through 3 rounds of praziquantel, unaffected. I think AEFW are even tougher than planaria (since products like flatworm exit doesn't even work on AEFW).

Once again, just one experience, but that's my take on it.

Thank you everyone for the input. I think I was lucky enough in this battle to have caught the problem early. In a second round of dips today I only found a few and only a few of my acros appear to have bites. I guess I'll just continue with the turkey baster and dips.
