Google clove polyps and fenbendazole

Encrusting gorgonian

What you have is definitely in the clove polyp family. This will do the trick.

If you need some packets of Fenbendazole, send me a pm....

I think the first pictures with the web like structure show a stolonifera, a kind of glove polyp.
I the third picture really the same? Looks more encrusting to me and could be Erythropodium.

thanks yall, I got some fish fenbendazole on the way and will try that approach this week end. from what I read on it need to pull my toad stool mushroom and all my snails other than nausiurs out, after 30 hours do a 30% water change and new carbon, wait at least a month before adding leather and snails back to system. does this sound about right. or did I miss something.

You will need to go longer than 30 hours. At 30 hours they will only look mildly irritated. I didn't start carbon or skimming until at least 72 hours.

Funny is, I would not have a problem with this on my back wall. Many wonder how my back wall is always clear. It always is.

Hey Chris did you end up doing the fenbendazole treatment? did it work and did you lose anything? I have some brown nuisance polyps very similar to yours that I'd like to get rid of and I came across your post during my research. Out of all of the photos and posts I've found so far, the polyps you have/had look almost identical to the ones in my tank. I think I agree with some of the other folks who thought it looks most like Anthelia. I have some fenbendazole and I'm debating on treating my entire tank, but obviously I am hesitant to dose a mature/established reef tank like everyone else in this situation. I'm curious if you can give us an update, let us know what process you took, and if there were any complications? thanks a million!
