any idea where they are from, i quarentine everything i get just in case never know

pickupman66 · Sep 27, 2012

I thunk I know. Just puzzles the heck out of me cause I dip EVERYTHING in Coral RX Pro before going into my system. After seeing the results last night, using Bayer is the way to go.

Best of luck Lindsey, beautiful tank.

pickupman66 · Sep 27, 2012

Thanks. All acroporas in my tank have now been dipped except 1. It is this one

I think it has a different slime and structure. There are zero signs of worms on it.

O no Lindsey that sucks. No matter how much you dip eggs still survive best is to dip and QT the corals before adding to the display tank. Goodluck that zeovit work.

Maybe you did something to the acro or tank before you took the pic, But no PE. So it my have something stressing it out. Just something to keep eye on, but nice growth tho

it's horrible. sorry to hear the Lindsey

fishdoc11 · Sep 27, 2012

That stinks

good luck getting rid of them. Tough task for sure. AEFW are the reason I didn't add any new Acros the last 4 years I kept a reef tank (knew I got rid of them and didn't want to risk it again). So hard to prevent even with good dipping methods.

Zef. Same coral

I hate to hear that Lindsey. Hopefully the Bayer will knock them out. Although it will not kill the eggs, so get out the magnifying glass and start scraping. Good Luck

Yeah dip once a week for about 8-12 weeks just incase you missed some eggs.

Several of the corals I dipped last night look pretty pale today. Let's hope they pull thru. Talk about alot of work last night..

Man thats terrible! I feel your pain, hopefully it all comes together for you! I pulled out all sps and left tank for few months then just started back with frags. I will never put another colony in my tank again, and i make sure i snip all frags 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the base and dip for 15 min to ensure nothing gets pass and then remount onto new plugs..... i hate doing it to fully encrusted frags but not worth the risk.
