Which sps species are immune to AEFW (acro eating flatworm)

[CyberGuy]

Even though the acronym of AEFW suggest acro as the main type, will other sps types such as sunset monti, digitata, millipora be vunerable to AEFW?

 

[Realposition]

Aefw won't effect Montipora so the sunset monti and the Montipora digitata will be fine. Millipora is actually acropora millipora so that will be effected

 

[CyberGuy]

How about cat's paw, pink bird nest, meteor shower?

How about Acropora is vulnerable, and other corals are not.

And Millepora does not have to be Acropora millepora, it can also be fire corals http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millepora

AEFW's affect all species of SPS from the genus Acropora, of which there are at least 135 identified species.

The family, Acroporidae, includes; Anacropora, Montipora, Astreopora and Acropora etc.

The Fire Coral is a different genus to Acropora whose name is Millepora: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-11/eb/.

So to answer the OP, AEFW will only affect stony corals from the Acropora genus (all the usual stuff like your Red Planet, Torts, Echinata etc etc). And wont affect Montipora etc.

Forgot to add: Stuff like cat's paw, pink bird nest etc all belong to the family Pocilloporidae; which includes your Stylophora, Pocillopora, Seriatopora etc and are not affected by AEFW.

Is there an echo in here
