It sure makes easy work of "the hardest flatworm to get rid of", just make sure to remove shrimp and hermits if you do. Good luck!

I know interceptor works for red bugs , but I didnt think it worked for AEFW.

Sorry to hear. Melanarus wrasse or Yellow wrasse (Halichoeres chrysus) may eat AEFW. Both are relatively cheap.

Correct. Red bugs yes, AEFW, no.

Interceptor absolutely works on acro eating flat worms. If you don't believe me look it up. And not only does it work, it works damn good, with no ill side effects. I just used this only a month ago. Type it on on google, some people dose it every 6 months just as a precaution. Not that I would recommend that.

Can you look that up for me and post a link? Everything I just googled said no. Everything I've ever read said no.

Aquattro 05-18-2014 03:44 AM

continuing to search, and so far everything says no. Interceptor is specific to crustaceans, which AEFW are not.

Lol this is crazy because I swear I read it lots before using it, and watched them fall off after using it. My sps have never been happier, and I certainly don't have AEFW anymore. But I may be eating my words as I cannot find anything on it either... So honestly not sure what the heck is up lol. But I got the pills from another member on here who also dosed it to treat AEFW with success. Im a little confused as to where I got my information then. Either way, it worked for me! i took out my shrimp n hermits, and dosed half a pill. Within an hour I saw them starting to move around and fall off my sps. For me the proof is in the pudding. But my mistake as I can't seem to find anything either..:redface:
