I understand why some reefers suddenly give up and sell!

yes, yes it has....makes this hobby a bit too challenging sometimes...BUT I will try to fix this..and carry on. I have had some good information from many people...so here goes nothing...tomorrow I pull them all out, dip them and put them into my Q tank....it's a shallow 40g with 250w halide, with their usual tank water in it...I hope I save them....but will start to frag off healthy bits of ones that are not making it. I've also had some really generous offers if I loose the entire collection...to those I thank you, and I will most likely come knocking!

Sarah I still have that blue milli waiting for you.

Just think when you get through all this you can be canreefs own "acro parasite expert"

yeah....that's it!!!

"Meet Sarah, she has had every nasty parasitic life form on corals....and survived to talk about it without weeping"

From the discussions I have had, AEFW don't eat Mille's...so I was happy about that as I have a couple...one gorgeous little frag from Christy, and a small colony from Wendell...but I will be watching them closely! My biggest concern is the 2 acro's I have in my Q tank...I'm trying to find a "safehouse" for them so they don't get infected by my AEFW corals, but haven't yet found a good Q tank to put them in for 6 weeks...UGH...see I learned to Q corals just too d**n late!

Pretty sure I found them on my millis, if I remember correctly (which I may not). I'd treat them anyway.

Ya, I think it's just harder to see them on millis. I use a scope, and even then it's tough. If you let a coral dry out a bit, then you can see the shiny worm against the tissue.
