I have an sps dominate 40g breeder that I was quarantining before I add it to my DT. I have aefw, so I need to start a dipping schedule.
I plan to dip with bayer advance once a week for 6 weeks. What concentration is recommended with bayer?
I also have a beautiful LTA that would need to be dipped. Can they handle the pesticide dip?
There is another 7 nassarius snails that I'd like to keep. Any idea how I could manage to rid them of the worms?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

anemones don’t carry pests with them outside possibly the free swimming stage of ich/velvet. If you put them in a QT by themselves for 48 hours it should take care of that. Just make sure you don’t add the rock or other hard surface it’s attached to into the QT.
 
Thanks for the input and link.
Any thought on the snails?
I want to be sure to rid them of any traces of those worms, but I don't want to hurt them either.
In the other thread, they say 48 to 72 hours qt to kill free swimming pests like ich. I thought the life cycle for ich is 76 days. Does the life cycle cut down from lack of eggs or something??
I just want to sure.. like extremely sure I dont end up with these red flat worm in my main display.
