Still battling these little suckers. They're relentless. After several prolonged dips in double doses of CoralRX and Revive I've seen a decrease in tissue loss. I have lost a few of the Monti's completely. I'll keep up the good fight. Any suggestions are appreciated. I even thought about experimenting with Hypo/higher salinity 1.035, H2O2, Vinegar, Bayer,Copper,Prazi,Paraguard,Garlic on the Monti's I could afford to loose. Since I have some of the same Monti's in other tanks.

I found them worse then AEFW to rid them. Out of all those I would try bayer. I have tested they options listed and Bayer was the best results. You just have to keep on them and over time they start to go away.

Dip once a week and as above, get into all the crevices underneath, you need to break the cycle.
England here, I use a domestic cleaning fluid called Dettol for dips of pests, keep an eye on them in isolation, it still took me about 8 weeks to clear my infestation.

Thanks for the input. They definitely are more of a pain than AEFW.

Sorry you are still having problems. I bought three yellow wrasses, a mandarin, and a 6 line, and have been dipping every week. I'm starting to get color back after the dip in the Potassium Permanganate solution that browned everything out. I hope I'm on the home stretch with these things.

What I have done in the past and this is a bit of a pain. I like to keep a quarantine tank with lights that I set up when needed. I move all the corals in this case monti from the DT. I leave them in this tank for a few months to let anything left over die in my DT. I can then easily keep on top of the afflicted corals. I only do this in times of desperation but it does work.
