They don't cause any harm to sps or lps because they're non-agressive, but they'll wreck zoas in no time. They grow right up the side walls until they've completely covered the zoas like a coat of plastic wrap.

I don't know for sure, but a de-wormer so coco worms sound like they would not like it. But...where are you getting fluke tabs? its my understanding they haven't been manufactured for years

Well I went ahead and treated. I removed the coco worms that I could. So far they look unhappy but are still alive. I know there can be die off for a couple of weeks so we will see. The Duncan's and clams are doing great. I may lose my pipe organ coral though.
I got the tabs from another hobbyist that had some left over.

Where they are shouldn't be an issue. They will die if you treat appropriately.

So... Been contemplating this for a while. Think I am about to pull the trigger, but... Question first. I have at least 2, maybe 3 Tiger Tail cucumbers in my tank. Knowing these can potentially be toxic if they were to die, I would like to know if anyone has had any experience using Fenbendazole with cucumbers?
It is possible I could find and remove them, but, if not, what is the general consensus as to whether they would make it or not?

I would also be concerned, especially considering the possibility they go toxic, do what you can to remove them is what I would do. why chance it.
Mine are all gone. I can't even see any remains. Now I'm working on getting the meds out of the tank. I've been doing 20 gallon water changes and a bag of carbon. I pulled some Xenia out prior to dosing the meds, tomorrow I will try putting one back in. When I dosed the tank, the Xenia were the first to die. I tried putting a Xenia back in after doing a 40-50% water change and my first bag of carbon. It survived for about a day and a half. So I put in a fresh bag of carbon and did another 40 gallons (40%).

yes, the GSP is the same family and will die

awesome, so glad to hear!
If you dosed the tank with them in there, it may already be too late. You can try removing them. I've been reading on another thread that Fendendazole takes a long time possibly months to eliminate from a tank once it is used. Sounds like it gets absorbed into the rocks.
