Wasn't as easy as I thought to find an Acropora eating flatworm. Seems like they are having a down period in our 10000 litre tank. That's good
Here's the only one I found today. Maybe there were more but i didn't want to kill them so I only rinsed the corals in tank water but a bit lower in salinity.
Now my plan is to get the summer substitute(who knows his way around the DNA lab) to extract some DNA so we can compare and see if we have the same species as the one described. If we find a good routine for that then we might help others find out what kind of AEFW they have.
We can't do the whole process in our small lab, so it might take a while for the results.
The boring side of this is to figure out a way to make sure no AEFW follow the corals to the temporary aquariums and then into the new Aquarium. Been trying different doses of Coral Cure dip, and different time to dip, but I'm not happy with the survival of the corals. Some species up to 50%
And it might be hard on the coral to be cut, dipped and glued the same day.
Long way to go..
Can't believe future marine biologists, are working with DNA. How things have advanced. Amazing.
