Tegastes acroporanus treatment question?

[mr.maroonsalty]

Haven't seen a rb post here for ages; people must be using good qt protocol :spin3: My question is what all will be killed with a whole tank treatment (worms, other pods, tunicates...)

 

[Capt_Cully]

arthropods in general. Crabs, shrimp, copepods, etc. Clams, corals, snails all will be fine.

 

[mr.maroonsalty]

echinoderms?

 

[Gary Majchrzak]

did you treat?

I don't know if echinoderms will be affected (I've never done the treatment) but have you considered removing Acros and treating seperately?

echinoderms?

My starfish and sea cukes were completely fine.

It would be a hard step for me to kill the crustaceans in my tank; a local club member fired a warning shot that he had them, and I took a small tip from him. I've studied and studied and have seen no signs. I don't understand how heartworm treatment doesn't wipe out the worm population too featherduster, fireworms, spaghetti, peanut...?

The medicine only eradicates a few species of worm in other animals, i would have to assume that its the same in our tanks.
