AEFW Question

[Beardo]

I received a frag today and when dipping found 2 adult AEFW. This has happened a few times in the past and I typically toss the frags as I don't want to risk it.
In this case, I am able to isolate the frag in another tank with no acros. Was looking for advice on a dipping regimen to eliminate them. I only dipped the frag in lugols initially as it is a smooth skin and most smooth skins for me haven't tolerated Revive very well. Would appreciate any input.

Dip asap and hope there were just two.
Siphon up if you see any more. If infestation..... Melanurus or Lunare wrasse should eat them. Also blue velvet nudibranch.
If all else fails. . . Flatworm exit treated at 80% of dosage

Thanks but the AEFW were on just a single new frag and the only acro of the 3 pieces I got. I didn't put the frag in my main display but have it isolated. I would like to save the frag as it is a piece I have been looking for. Was looking for a dipping protocol that a smooth skin acro could handle but would eliminate the AEFW.

I'd dip it to make sure you don't have any more adults, but dipping won't get rid of any eggs so you should still QT for a while, inspecting periodically.
