Brad,

Really sorry to hear of this latest set-back. I know that you'll come up with the right decision for yourself and your family. Hopefully you'll be able to defeat this pest once again.

Anthony, I've got a plan in the works, just need to figure out some details. Not a major setback, I've been toying with the idea of a change for a long time now. This simply forces my hand. :)

This was a 48 hr quarantined treatment (in order to starve any remaining fauna in the main tank). Interceptor did NOT kill the flatworms after the entire 48 hrs. Bugs died within a couple hours. So my point is: interceptor doesn't kill those flatworms, so I doubt it will kill AEFW's. I gave all pieces a heavy dose of RPS before adding back to the tank and haven't seen anything come back, but I think the AEFW's eggs are pretty resilient compared to these sissies.
The brown/black pods you mention are black bug the same as red bug but inhibit monties

In all honesty, if Interceptor worked, we wouldn't have hundreds of very experienced SPS keepers, here and at RC, losing thousands of dollars of SPS. People spend months dipping in levamisole and bayer trying desperately to clean their tanks. If we could just drop in a pill from the vet, it would be very well documented and publicized.

Then where did mine go?? Lol still need id i. What i had lol

Aquattro 05-18-2014 04:27 PM
Dunno, maybe they weren't AEFW? I've just read a lot of threads at RC and other sites affirming that it does NOT work. People have confirmed having both red bugs and flatworms, treating with interceptor and losing red bugs, keeping flatworms.

You must be right brad. Because iv found pretty much all the same info. So i guess maybe i just got lucky and had a bug that interceptor does work on.

Aquattro 05-18-2014 04:46 PM
I'd really prefer you were right -lol. Would make things much simpler :)

Slyguy00 05-18-2014 05:04 PM
Lol I cant always be right:mrgreen:

Slyguy00 05-18-2014 05:07 PM
So then what is your plan of attack brad? Just dip each coral individually?
