OK. Good news/bad news. Sale is now on hold due to the discovery (FINALLY) of what the problem is.

My acropora corals are "under attack" by camouflaged acropora eating flatworms. Steve and I spent a couple of hours tonight peering into the microscope finding these (not so) little bastards!! They are invisible until they move, although their egg sacks are visible.
There is a thread or three on RC about them, apparently common in Europe. We doesd some flatworm exit into a test container, but the results were inconclusive.
A FW dip removed them in seconds though, although the eggs seemed unaffected.

Since this discovery, I can't knowingly pass these on. Sorry for any excited coral purchasers. Now I have a whole new dilema....

For those that have got frags from me over the last year, if possible,you may want to perform a quick FW dip on your acros, if they appear to not be doing well.
I'll post a link to the RC article shortly.
