Digitate Hydroids

[Chad3407]

Fendebazole Will not kill them long term. I treated my tank and within a month they were back I did a second treatment and it did absolutely nothing to them. I am at the point of completely redoing the tank.

I don't have anemones or gsp so I can't speak for them. I do have a few zoos and they did not bother them at all.

What is the process for Fendabazole?

Sorry I don’t know how to link the string but there is a post on here titled “here it is! Fendbenazole for digitate hydroids” search that. It is real long so takes some time to get exact dosage and directions. I will try to find how to link

Sorry been misspelling it is fenbendazole

Btw. Starving them does nothing. My tank has been fallow for 60 days with no feeding and were worse

so a little bump here, I have tons of digitate hydroids in the sump and absolutely none I can see in the display. Obviously something is hunting them down, I just wish I knew what, I’m suspecting the copperband butterfly as he nuked all the aptaisia and feather dusters in my tank in about a week lol so I wouldn’t be surprised if he keeps the digitate at bay as well, they do look very similar to feather dusters.

100% is the copperband butterfly. I had 0 hydroids in display with my copperband, but he died, after 3 years, and now my display is full of them.
