Yes! I haven’t seen egg clusters in a few weeks. Slowly the colors to my bigger affected colonies have been coming back. My initial thoughts are I had such a bad infestation that until I had dipped over 2 months every week and really decimating the egg laying adults I wasn’t making making progress. I’m still not sure if the exodus dip was 100% effective on all the eggs but I did have many clusters that didn’t hatch and instead kind of dissolved a few weeks later. It is hard to make a definitive statement that it was getting into the eggs but I can say it definitely took care of all the adults. I also had very minimal stress on the dipped corals even though they stayed in the dip for 60min each time.
The colonies that were not affected are still attached to the rockwork and growing beautiful following the reef moonshiners method.
I know the tank wouldn’t look anywhere close to how good it does without moonshiners.

Excellent Sir!!!!

Keep up the good work, with the Reef Moonshiner's at work here, as expected, exceptional results.
We stay in touch, and let me know if you need more dip against these bloody AEFW suckers.
You should be over the replication cycle now and just need to wash off the juveniles with the dip.

I’ve seen them at my old LFS in their display tank. Super pretty. I’ve heard unlike some of the other Anthias , they do ok singly. I’m getting a trio of Randall’s Anthias. Wonder if a single blotched would get along with them?

I know a tank with one blotched and a school of Squamipennins so I can only assume they wouldn’t be aggressive towards another Anthias. But like all know it depends on the fish.

Tank is happy again after months of dipping and scrubbing to eliminate those AEFW. Has been a task for sure but now I’m back to focusing on getting the water parameters back to 100% balanced. Still have only done 1 water change since I started this tank in October of 2020.

Ok small update. I changed the refugium macro over to chaeto. The red Ogo was great till the tank became more grown in. It couldn’t keep up with my feeding of fish and the corals. Aside from that everything is going along great.

Also going to be changing the lights up here very soon. I like the AI hydra lights but the melting lense issue when running at my settings has become annoying.
