Do you quarantine your corals first? I know you had another tank going beside your display but I wasn't sure if that's what it was. I certainly don't have a QT for corals, letalone my fish. I know we all should have but let's face it, about 90% of us don't. I would rather have some sort of line of defence before throwing a new coral in my tank.

Alot of others dip in Lugols. I'm sure this is stressful too. But it's probably better than nothing, I would rather stress out a coral and risk losing it rather than introducing a parasite into my tank that could potentially wipe out everything.

whats the treatment plan? I'm reading through the posts on RC and half the posts are (unfortunately) battle posts.
And where did you get the AP Fluke Tabs from?

Does anyone in the lower mainland actualy have the AEFW? I have not heard any mention of it on here.. I thought maybe our little community was free of them.

It's looking like 1 crushed tablet per gallon.

I bought it at Big Al's for $8.99 (for 10 tabs). I'm sure you could find it cheaper elsewhere since I find BA's a little expensive when it comes to EVERYTHING
