How secure are the eggs attached? I wonder if having a large pump or powerhead in hand and "pressure wash" them off would work.

Never. A very firm toothbrush might do it. As far as I can tell, the corals with eggs on them are gone.

is that the one that had the flatworm exit dip, then the fresh water dip then the air dry method?

The oven method works well, although the corals don't handle it well!

Brad, glad you found your problem. How did you find these?!

I know it's easy for me to say, especially what you've gone through, but don't give up.

Can you start a new thread about these things in the Reef Forum?

We went to look at the eggs under the scope and after staring at the different parts of the coral to see if we could see anything else Brad saw the coral flesh move. I of course thought he was on nyquill or something cuz nothing moved for the minit I looked but then I saw it and then we turned into the mad scientests trying to make flatworms explode.. never got that much excitment though but it is pretty interesting to watch what happens to a flat worm when you put fresh water on it under the microscope.

I've emailed the local people interested in acropora and described the "new plan". Please check your registered emails, you know who you are.

I thought so, but maybe I forgot I'll copy you on it.
