Rob, the corals just don't come out without removing most of the rock. Some are encrusted to the rock over a 6" area. If it gets to that point, I'm done. There is no way I can remove all acropora tissue for multiple dips and place them back in tank.
This is still only a small possibility though, so we'll see what the year brings.

Just keep a close eye on them and be resolved to act quickly if need be. You may not have to remove all your corals if you can deal with their "favorite" before they spread. All infestations seemed to be characterized by base recession.

Yes, good point. If you catch it early enough there may only be a few corals affected since AEFW, like red bugs, always have favourite corals to munch on. Once you figure out their favourites you can continue to monitor those favourites in the future.
