Coral Boring Spionid Worms- Anybody Killed them?

[buruskeee]

I tried it, it did not work.
I can post my YouTube video as proof.

Give me a few minutes.

I looked, I don't have a video, my apologies.

I have a video using ivermectin. For sure that don't work. LOL

But, I did use fenben on bcp. Vermetid survived.
I also want to see this video. I'll watch it when I get some time.

Until I see with my own eyes dying snails, I'm not a believer.

They have to ingest it via flake food.

Some more points of data from some recent dip treatments:

- treated an acro frag and an octospawn colony
- used the high dosage of a 1% ivermectin solution at 1.6mL in about 64oz (0.5gal). equal rate of 3.2mL/gal
- octospawn was dipped for 30-45 minutes (my timer restarted part way through). acro for ~1 hour
- as expected, acros and LPS seem nearly unphased aside from being a bit ***** til the next day. acro didn't even generate mucus
- yet again, the small feather dusters with completely red crowns have apparently survived treatment. one of these feather dusters even had both ends of their tube crushed in handling so had absolutely been exposed readily. this was only observed on the octospawn's skeleton, which had a shorter exposure time.

Wanted to come back around to this one. After observing for a few days, said feather duster is absolutely dead, just stuck in his tube with his crown hanging out. Total wipeout of the entire worm population on the dipped specimens.

I started dosing Angel Plus DeWorming fenbendazole flake food five days ago. I'll be observing a sps base I was going to dip.

Have you seen any positive benefits to dosing this?

I’ve been feeding it the reef tank for a few weeks now. A small pinch to a 60 gallon tank nearly every day and I’ve seen no change in the concentration of coral boring worms. They all continue to have their antenna sticking out from what I can see.

The only death I’ve had is a large gorgonian that I’ve had for about 3 years.

I have not seen positive benefits and I also took a ton of the flakes and blended and dissolved in water to make a solution. And then took an infested coral and used the solution as a dip

Kind of what I was expecting.

Nothing against anyone but I’m always skeptical of these things and I was in a position to test it easily so I wanted to add my data point.

I’d love to see some photographic or video evidence from Chris Meckley demonstrating these results he describes.

rats, I bought a big bag of the stuff. Well, I guess I'll still give it a shot if the worm population gets out of control. Thank you all for the data points!
