I wanted to post this thread in the SPS forum. I had this experience recently and posted in the MTRC Club Forum. I had amazing success using Bayer to kill off all AEFW. I only lost a couple of frags through the whole process, and they were not happy to begin with. I think the key in this was not only using Bayer, which seems to not harm the corals like some other well known dips, but that I attacked it head on and had a decent setup for a QT. I know not everyone has the money,space, equipment to it like I did, but just know that if you have to dip and keep them in the display tank you will possibly lose all your inverts like shrimp and pods. Anyways, it's all here in this thread below...
