Here it is! Fenbendazole use against hydroids

[Reefkeepers Archive]

Any localized treatment? There is a small colony of aiptasia lookalike hydroids growing at the base of my leather and do not want to treat the entire tank. Any thoughts?

I've used it (and posted about it on this forum) for Blue Clove Polyps - had to do it 3x actually as they came back. What is really interesting is that I used it on 1 tank and 3 days later, the a seam on the tank failed (not related, a seam on a Red Sea 750 XXL ) and had to rescue lots of live rock from that tank by moving it to another tank. In the 2nd tank I had lots of Green Star Polyps (GSP) that i wasn't very fond of. About a week later, all GSP was gone, just from the residual Fenbendazole in the live rock. All other softies and inverts were fine. Score 1 for the team in an otherwise difficult time for my tanks.
