The best I have tested is malifix. It doesnt stress the corals sps, lps, z's and p's. Yes I use this on all corals and have been for years. It will kill crabs, worms, bristle star fish, red bugs, and AEFW. I use 5 ml per quart of water. I dip for 2 minutes hth.

Lately, I've been using CoralRx, with great results! I've also used Melafix, which works well, and of course, I always do an Interceptor bath, with all SPS.

I've purchased the Bayer insecticide product, with plans of using, but haven't yet.

Bayer Insecticide for SPS - I haven't tested it on LPS/Zoas yet. But I will.

I used 10ml of Bayer in 1/2 cup of tank water and dip for 5 minutes. For SPS, this process will be repeated for a minimum of six weeks while in quarantine. I'll dip every five-six days. Along with cutting the base off or buying fresh cut frags only.

HTH,
