I broke down my last tank over these monsters. I'm so scared to get them again.

Are you saying you have spionids coming out of your rock? And not your coral?They're in the worst possible spot. I could maybe get a pair of nippers in there, but taking the rock out is also just simply a non-starter. It's the entire main arch lol. Pictures much easier to see. Enhance!:
Proof is in the pictures! I am indeed saying spinoids are coming out of the rock - look at the photos, those two antenna sticking out are 100% undeniably rock/coral boring spinoid worms. There are actually 8 antenna total in the "zoomed in" photo, 4 separate worms sticking out all right next to each other.Are you saying you have spionids coming out of your rock? And not your coral?
First, I'd be curious if that's even spoinids. Perhaps I missed that you're talking about vermited's...
But in your case a nice big glob of 2 part putty over the area will suffocate them out.

You have such a small tank that it would take very little effort to eradicate that patch.Proof is in the pictures!

Putty/glue does not work to suffocate them, they simply retreat into their tubes and dig a new hole. This is the same reason why the method doesn't work when dealing with them on corals.
....did you not read either of the replies after your post? What method would you suggest to eradicate them, supposedly with very little effort?You have such a small tank that it would take very little effort to eradicate that patch.
Have you not heard of moonshiners exodus dip?....did you not read either of the replies after your post? What method would you suggest to eradicate them, supposedly with very little effort?
You have to manually pull the worms out.Yes, if you read through this thread it discusses Exodus and its failure to dislodge these worms. Pages 2, 3, and 4 all talk about it working on some but not others.
I used Ivermectin on my LPS. No issues with that. The dosage is in this thread as well. My hammer and acan are still going strong and growing.Should take a look at this thread as well.
Safe Interceptor Dose | Coral Boring Spionid Worms.
I use ivermectin 1% at a dose of 1ml/100L to treat redbug and aefw directly in the QT tank for 2 hours, then I just put in 1 bag of activated carbon and turn on the skimmer. The results were very good, after about 30 minutes I checked and saw that the pod under the sump didn't seem to be...www.reef2reef.com
So about 1/2ml or 1ml per liter or 1ml per quart.Noticed these guys in a speciosa frag that has done nothing for years, did not take any before and after pictures but looks like dip was a success as of yesterday for spionid worms specifically. I also tried it on a master chalice frag with a random feather duster type worm, surprisingly did not seem to effect that worm. Chalice didn't care either thankfully.
Both dipped in 9drops (20 gauge syringe) per 500ml for 60 minutes
