AEFW

[Reefer Rob]

After my AEFW incident, all new frags get a dip and a close inspection. You only want to go through AEFW once in a lifetime.

The eggs aren't so easy to spot. The coral needs to be air dried a bit, and they can be in some very tight spots; every nook and cranny has to be inspected, this is a very important part of the treatment.

Brad, if you end up with AEFW, unfortunately the only way to eliminate them will be to remove your corals for dipping. It took a long sleepless night before I resolved to do this. Fortunately for me my corals were little more than frags.

You may not have to remove all your corals if you act quickly, they seem to have their favorite pieces, my tri-color was especially tasty apparently. If there is no recession at the base it may be OK to leave them attached... and see how it goes.
