Who has had AEFW and beat them?

natural way we won a couple of years ago was suck out as much as you can, and put the following livestock in;

In order of effectivness in my opinion.

Melenarus wrasse
Blue Velvet Nudibrach
Yellow coris wrasse
mandarin goby
six line wrasse

haven't seen any in either our LPS/SPS in a long time

How did you suck them out? They live on the acros and blend perfectly with the tissue coloration.
You might be thinking those red flatworms that grow all over the sand and stuff...

So tonight im gonna dip every peice in my tank in coral rx. Do these things only go after acros or do they eat all SPS? Cuz ive got a huge supernatural monti thats encrusted onto the glass and overflow that i wont be able to get off without scratching it up... Also alot of very delicate birdsnests that will be in a million peices

Only acropora..

yes, plus the black velvet nudibranch don't do on any coral. They are sort of repulsive on going on corals, at least that was my observation, plus they are totally uncompatible with strong flow and pumps.

I had to lower my flow quite a bit and put nets over my pumps and they would still get stuck on them.

Whatever happened to greenex. I had them many years ago and just greenexed the tank. Did not lose anything including coral, shrimp or fish but I didn't have any SPS at the time. Worked great, but turns your clear silicone a green color. Do they even sell it anymore?

[daniella3d]

you had them? them what extactly? Because if you had no SPS then you probably did not have any acropora eating flatworms, so there is no way to say that it worked great.

IN any case, I would not put that in a reef tank for sure. It contain malachite green and quinine...not very compatible with a reef. It also contain copper from what I read.

I had tiny red flat worms. Not sure of the specifics.

Wrong ones for this thread. We're talking about acropora eating flatworms, little mottled brownish planaria that live exclusively on acropora. Impossible to see, lay eggs around base of coral. Bad critters.
