Eliminating Blue Clove Polyps with Fenbendazole

Peanut · Jun 7, 2017

I added a few snails back tonight. I'm going to keep an eye on them before adding the rest and the serpent stars.

Today I added back my 2 large serpent stars and a few more snails. No issues so far.

Hey guys!

Treated over the holiday weekend and it went smooth as silk. All the cloves are dead and I'm still siphoning the decay but everything took the treatment very well. Only loss was a fresh maricultured ultra plate (so far).

It's amazing the weight I feel has been lifted.

Thanks!

So I have to remove all inverts?

Brad Bessett · Aug 17, 2017

It's safer to, but my hermits, cleaner shrimp, and pistol shrimp made it just fine. I did remove all my snails.

Am i the only person who love those clove polyps? I have them all over my tank too and honestly they really bring out my coral colors. Ineed they are invasive but not aggressive. They grow on my rock preventing any algae on my rock so my tank is algae free. My tank is full blown sps and it doesnt bother the sps at all

They are beautiful but we have a tank full of purple coralline algae and I like that color too.

my zoas were getting strangled, I just couldn't take it anymore. Plus, finding a spot for a new coral was impossible without worrying about it getting strangled too.

You're Welcome! This is exactly why I did it. The original poster saved me and I knew I couldn't be the only one in dire need of a solution. Without it I may have given up hobby and I just wanted to spread the word for anyone else in my position.
