If Bayer killed the eggs then the people who dip new corals and add them to their display afterwards would not have any aefw problems. But yet we constantly see new threads where people have got aefw and are surprised because they dipped all their frags in Bayer.
It seems there is a new wave of people promoting the method of dipping coral frags in bayer while remounting the coral on a fresh frag plug, and adding to the display. Acting like its a surefire way to stay free of pests. I do promote this but I always keep the frags in another tank for observation until I am positive there is nothing missed. Same goes with Redbugs. People use this method and still get Redbugs.
This is kind of side talk but unfortunately people still sell their coral frags on these message boards even when they knowingly have infestations of aefw and or red bugs. Some people act like its OK to do this because they promote this dip and mount method. This method may work for a while but people get complacent and things will slip through. Especially when people selling withhold information about their system having aefw. Some of these fs threads would take me days to go through and warn all the people who bought from the seller. And that would just be the people who posted on the thread, what about the ones who just pmed? I feel bad for everyone involved in these situations and won't intervene but sometimes I think it would be best. It could save a lot of people the headache of dealing with aefw. I am not sure what the right thing to do in this situation would be...
