A quick google shows two ingredients in fluke tabs. I have a jar of FLAW ( FLuke and ANchor worms) that is one of the two ingredients.

Does Anyone in Canada have access to these? I have a forest of anthelia at the back of my tank, that I'm sick of trimming, as it creeps to the front of my tank. Any help would be appreciated.

How big is your tank ?
I have a few pills to spare i would suggest removing as much of the anthelia by hand though before adding the fluke tabs.

John I'm going to help out ryan and ship him some out this week.Hang on to yours,but if brads order doesn't pan out,i'm going to help him out as well.

Thanks again dreef! Ya I'm goingto manually remove as much as I can, with the amount I have I'm sure there would be a ammonia spike, I also have blue clove polyps in abundance aswell so I'm alittle apprehensive about doing it but I can't stand the anthelia or the bcp. I will take a pic of the forest for a before and after pic.

Waving hand is the plague,my wife thought it was pretty when i made the mistake yrs. ago.I was lucky i could remove the 14 lb. rock it was on.A pressure washer just peeled it off,it never returned

Ok, 18 hours into treatment, I see bits of cleaner shrimp, so I'm assuming they died and got eaten. Water is a bit cloudy, so I've turned the skimmer back on, I'll give it a bit to add carbon or do the water change. As for the blue cloves, only about 3 billion left, although they look agitated. Hopefully they disappear soon. Hate to have killed my shrimp for nothing

For those who have done this and killed the blue cloves, how long did it take for them to be gone?

I'm sorry Brad,i meant no harm to your tank critters Another member "collin" got some tabs from me and nuked his waving hand and had no losses.

Nothing to be sorry about, I knew the shrimp were at risk. just hope the blue stuff goes away eventually. it doesn't look happy at all and there is some recession, so I'm hopeful it dies completely.

Brad, Do the blue cloves harm other corals?
