I went through this a few years back, fighting it for over a year with dips including Bayer that I bought in the USA. It was AWFUL and I lost ALL of my hard corals (acro). I went from a beautiful display tank to... well, I am not too pleased with it since I love acro so much. I have lots of plating corals and frogspawn and zoas.
Anyway, it was very sad and beyond frustrating. Unless there is an actual cure, I'd probably just throw out a coral colony at the first sign of infection. I'd be very interested in this method if it works for future reference. One thing I always do now is QT everything. Someday I'll get back into acro... just have to get rid of aiptasia and F@cking bubble algae Last edited by SteveConn; 08-02-2018 at 03:41 AM.

After some initial speed bumps they have seemed to have worked out the bugs on this product. Should be available in the next month or two. J@L will be getting it in once it is released.
Apparently it works on monti eating nudis as well.

There are 40 reefers on Reef2reef that volunteered to do trials on it. It was effective on 75% of the tanks at the original dosage. About a quarter of them found that it only reduced the numbers but didnt completely eliminate them. They took those AEFW that were immune and shipped them back to Underwater Creations (makers of Vibrant) and increased the dosage to find what would kill them.
They then increased the dosage on those tanks where the efficiency wasn't 100% and found the right dosage to make it effective on all AEFW encountered. Of the 40 subject reefers who tested they all eventually got 100% control and it appears to not have had any adverse reactions with any desirable reef tank occupants. By product of the testing noted was monti nudis were wiped out as well. Quote:

"Expel" is not the new AEFW dip. Underwater Creations mentions this in their blog as people are buying multiple bottles of it. I believe it is just a all around dip for cleaning your corals.
The dip and the tank treatment have not been released yet. Likely will take at least a month before its available. They don't even have a name for it. Takes a while to produce, package and distribute the product. The good news is the tough part has been completed.

Excel is indeed the kill-all dip, and it has been released as per UWC. There will be no stand alone AEFW dip, only the in-tank treatment.
* re-reading my initial post, I should have been clearer that the dip would be a kill-all, not just a stand alone version. Last edited by kyl; 08-20-2018 at 09:35 PM. Reason: Clarified first post

"Yes, the Expel is just the coral dip. Completely different product the AEFW nuker." and "It looks as if a few people ordered multiple bottles of the Expel, probably thinking it is the AEFW killer. If any of you are on here, message me. One bottle will last you a long time" He also mentions that it will be a while yet before it is released to the public.
