Targeting M.E.N in tank with coralrx

[FFalas]

I just spotted two patches on my red "spotted" plating monti with montipora eating nudis on it.. Other colonies seem unaffected althou i remember removing a large one from glass at the start of the build so these musthave been there a while. I dont want to pull thecoral out (although i fear i might have to) as its just attached to the rock after alot of effort milliputing it into place.. I have siphoned almostall visible ones with a turkey baster but have noticed that a targeted drop of coral rx will kill them n the spot.. Am thinking on a 200lt tank would i be ok mixing a few drops of coral rx in the baster with tank water and blasting the target area? Or would that really be a no-no?

I wouldn't. I would pull it and dip it.

ya dont do that haha, pull out the coral and dip and inspect very good

usually when you see more then one in a spot, there is going to be eggs on the colony.

Yeh thought so..was a bit of a blind hope to hear a targeted drop of iodine would have worked in the display but hate the idea of having to break it from the rock after much swearing trying to fix it perpendicularly with milliput.. :| :|

man that really sucks, but yea pull it out and dip. Also use a tooth brush to scrap the eggs that maybe under it.

that something might have been scoffing at the idea of QT! (not a sermon, just a thought)
