Bayer is a very effective dip for AEFW, you just cannot see anything in the dip afterwards, so it is hard to tell how many came off. It is gentle on smooth skinned acropora.

I know they were AEFW. And I saw them in the bucket after my dips, among the planaria. I also took a dead frag to the space and science education center I volunteer at, to look at the eggs I found on it under a microscope. It confirmed what I thought. I figured it would hurt to try flatworm exit, so I did that first then added a size line and did dips. Took 6 weeks but it worked for me.

I set up 2 large tubs and dipped in 1 and rinsed in another large container then back in the tank.

Ok so the dips and fish is what killed the aefw and not the flat worm exit?

Yea I can’t remember which version I used though or how much I used per gallon. I just followed an old thread I was reading at the time. I know there is marine and pond versions and they are just different strengths of the same stuff. Just make sure your using the same version as whoever gives you the right ml per gallon for the dip. Hope someone else can be more specific with that. It’s been like 8 years since I used it to dip with.
