lol. Unfortunately that looks like a preventative, which could possibly be too late I don't add corals without cutting off the base and the tissue near the base, so eggs wouldn't be much of a concern.
This time, I got a frag from Wayne, checked it under the scope and dipped, but it died. So Wayne gave me another and I just assumed it would be safe like the last one and just dropped in on the frag rack. I checked all pieces anywhere near it and nothing, so hopefully this is just another wake up call to check every single piece that goes in the tank.

Man, this thread doesn't make me feel so bad about my hair algae problem anymore. I hope you guys can beat them. What a nightmare

Word. This thread describes maybe the one thing that could make me quit this hobby.

If I believed in prayer, I'd be praying that Brad nipped this problem before it it could even become a bud. Let's say... so many positive thoughts.

I'm just going with the thought that I don't need to beat anything, just be more careful.

Ya, if my tank ended up hit by these, I'd consider packing it up. I'll have spare pieces put aside in case I need to make that decision. If I sold all my gear though, I'd have a nice month in Bali -lol

This may be a silly question, do these only affect sps?

So in light of the $5000 sell-off... do you know yet whether you've been 'hit' ?

No, I don't suspect that there would be signs for months. If one got in the tank, it would take a while to show up, I think.
I've got a couple people interested, so if it happens, we'll set up a dip station for everything during transfer.
