Default Fluke Tabs time to kill the Anthelia

Thanks to a member the tabs came in the mail but i'm still a little concerned about using them i was hoping that fellow Canreefers have tried this method.
If you have can you post your experiences what died if anything and how much you used .
Thanks

1/2 a fluke tab in 100 gallons of water.

Killed anthelia, clove polyps, and hydroids.

Didn't affect sps, LPS, mushrooms, BTA, fish, or hermit crabs.

I had no shrimp in the tank. Fluke tabs are reputed to kill shrimp.

Just now (a few years later) I have noticed a few small polyps growing on the rocks, look like they may be clove polyps coming back.

I did a whole tab in my 30 (I was over run with anthelia) didn't effect any of my other soft corals (Torch, frog spawn, blasto's, zoa's) no shrimp for me either so don't know how it would effect them, fish were fine as well. Did have a bit of hair algea show up afterwards but I was kind of expecting that so no biggie to me.
