They are coming back, even after 1 wk at 4mg/gal. Really sucks!!!!!!!
Next week I plan to rescape the tank (some are my sps are literally growing out the tank). I will make an effort to remove all the infected rocks. Would be tough as i have lots of corals on them. But since i have to rescape, I will make an effort to remove the infected rocks
take your large snails out. My anemones did great. Aiptasia did great My small reproducing snails all did fine. I did have trouble adding large snails back into the system. I think it took me almost a month. It didn’t work the first time so I had to increase dose a little bit. I have tons of rock work absorbing the meds which I think was the reason first round didn’t work. Worked the second time with increased dose but couldn’t add snails till a lot later.
Does anyone know how to measure the small doses. The package I have is 250mg. I'm going to isolate the rock with GSP on it and place it in a 5 gallon tank.
I only have one species in the tank. it is more purple that the blue variety.what did you increase your dosage to?

so a week ago, i broke my tank down.
Here is a pic before:
the clove polyps were located on the left structure that has the anemone and monti cap. These suckers were coming back even after 1 week at 4mg/gal.
The other pic is after I took everything out. My main reason for breaking it down was to make room for those large SPS colonies in the middle of the tank. They were all the way at the top of the water line.
Since i was rescaping the tank. I took the opportunity to remove all the rocks that i knew had the clove polyps.
The tank is totally stressed now.
Hopefully, this will solve the clove polyp infestation and making more room for the sps to grow.
only time will tell.
