Hi Guys, pretty new to this forum but had it recommended by a friend.
I am currently experiencing the blue clove polyp infestation from hell. I have read about people using fluke tabs to kill these but i cannot find them anywere. Does anyone know were i can purchase some from?
Thanks

Thanks for the welcome, i hope so as the only other solution is to break my tank down and i wouldnt have the funds to start back up again
 
there has been a few people on here that have brought up similar topics to this and other methods to nuke blue clove and other nuisance zoas/palys/polyps
 
I can get you some, I've never heard of them killing those polyps b4 did you read it somewhere on here?

Ive read a thread on here and a few on other forums. It just looks like the tabs arent sold anymore or certainly not here in the UK
 
they absolutely work for eradicating cloves,xenia,gsp and most other soft corals.i fluked my tank and it wiped out the cloves.google fluke tabs and blue cloves and you will find the thread on the other forum.
 
And fluke tabs are ok to dose directly to the dt? Do you see any changes in water chemistry? Do you need to be more aggressive in nutrient export during this time or completely turn off filtration methods? I REALLY want to rid myself of these pests, but want to make sure it will not harm my fully stocked reef.
 
From what I've heard, it only harms cloves, xenia and gsp. You add it to your DT for several days (1 crushed tab / 100 gallons). Make sure you have a good skimmer and try to syphon off the dead cloves. Haven't tried it myself yet, but am considering it.
