It will kill many inverts for years and years to come. Use it in a hospital tank.

Well there is no chance of catching the fish to move them to a hospital tank and prazi pro should only effect flatworms not all inverts.

I wouldn't use PraziPro in the display tank or any medications for that matter.

That information is wrong. It will not affect all inverts but will affect many of them. By affect I mean kill.

Prazipro is used by many in this hobby (especially fish breeders and dwarf seahorse keepers) to kill hydroids, and bristleworms but has shown to have a long last effect on herbivourous creatures for years (up to 6 years as far as I know and he still can't keep certain snails).

In the hobby it is more commonly known as panacur.

Don't dose your reef with it man. It' not worth it. I get that you might not want to take my word for it, but do some more research. It would suck to make that big of a mistake.

If you are going to use it in a hospital tank, IME for fish treatment it works best if you gutload live brine then feed the fish.

HTH.
