Flatworms,nudis and redbugs "Oh my"

[whatcaneyedo]

Any of the coral I sell I give a Flatworm exit dip if the person doesnt already have them. I just use 1 drop usually in a 1 gal bucket for an hour or less.

Any SPS I get I give an interceptor dip using about 1/8 of a pill ground up and dissolved into my 20gal QT tank overnight.

What can a person use for nudis (montipora eating ones right?)? I've never seen them before, I must be lucky I guess.

I just want to clarify that i do indeed dip everything with TMPCC before it hits my tank. But it doesn't deal with Red Bugs and apparently Nudi's either
I look for Nudi's and look for the eggs but sometimes it is hard to distinguish there eggs. I am not sure where the nudi's have come from as i didn't have a problem untill very recently.

But yes the intercepter is now the thing to do for Red bugs from now on. I have someone here who is going to hook me up with some tomorrow( Thank-you sooo very much) But i need to find out how to deal with the Nudi's as they are Everywhere in very large numbers

Revive by two little fishes kills aefw and monti eating nudi's and for red bugs interceptor, I use to use tmpcc and fw exit but that's old school.....

Revive is safe and 100% the BOMB

I've posted a couple threads on dipping and there has always been poor response. Honestly, I don't think there are any dips out there that work very well enough to bother. I say either inspect and toss em in or QT.

I know for sure that TMPCC works on zoanthid eating nudis...odd that it doesnt work on monti eating nudis.

I had a discussion about this very same thing with the husband. I now make sure to take measures with new fish going into my system, and feel the same way about corals... my husband's worry is he does not want to kill the little acro crabs that are on the corals. I learned the hard way and had no disasters to speak of yet, so I got lucky. I would hate failing to dip corals to be a show stopper.

DO you ever see anything in the water when you dip?

What do these nudis look like?

x2!
dips do not work well enough...

At any rate if anybody wants to try i can share personal experience with flat worms.
When I used PhosBusterPro @ recommended dose to get rid of phosphates, ALL of the flat worms were dead in two days.
Side effect warning: it will also wipe some or most of the pods.

[i have crabs]

i dosed a ton of flatworm exit to kill off the remainder or my flatworms and killed off almost all of my pods and still didnt kill the flatworms i have so i need to try something else
