Pretty much! I was waiting for the fish to jump out or die. But they didn't seem bothered at all...

Bringing this thread to life again, just started my treatment for blue cloves tonight. Put in 1.5 tabs in my 150gal system at around 7:30pm, we'll see how it goes. Already my gold coral banded shrimp is feeling the effects. I never see this guy, he's totally nocturnal, but he's out now. Probably going to be a goner soon if the fish don't get to him first. The blue throat trigger, foxface and scopas tang are all ganging up on him. RIP little buddy.

Sorry, missed your PM earlier. Ya, that's the right amount of tab. I left mine 48 hours, then did a water change, added carbon and turned skimmer back on. I had to toothbrush the dead polyps off afterwards, lost 2 cleaner shrimp and one type of snail.

19 hours into treatment and the blue cloves are looking like a sorry bunch. The tabs are also working wonders on a whole pile of hydroids I had in there. So far so good for the coral banded shrimp--alive and well.

Well she's pretty much a done deal. Just over 48hrs and the cloves appear to be dead. Going to give it overnight, tomorrow I'll brush off all the carcasses, 20gal water change and add carbon. Confirmed casualties so far...1 Trochus snail. The coral banded shrimp has disappeared. Maybe he just went into hiding again or maybe he's dead, don't know. No bodies anyways.

I never found my cleaner shrimps. Think I saw a leg float by, that's about it.

And I'd personally do much more than 20g change. I did 50g three times over the week, which probably wasn't enough..

Yeah I know. Right after this 20 goes in I have another batch of 20 RO ready to mix, heat and dump. I was thinking probably 3-4 batches of 20 gal over the next few days.

Just thought i'd keep this thread going. I added 2 fluke tabs I got from a fellow canreefer

last night at 10:00 after catching my shrimps and putting in another tank. My tank is infested with clove polyps and today is the first time I have never seen them open. I'm hoping they are all dead and gone after 4 days.
