How effective is KCL on AEFW?

[SamMule]

Found this in my dip on an incoming frag.

How deadly is a KCL dip on AEFW? Will one good dip nuke them? Or will it need multiple? I already clipped the base off. I dont have another tank set up at the moment for QT.

POTASSIUM CHLORIDE is very effective at killing Red Planaria. I used a 1G jug and soaked some yellow ball sponges and orange elephant ear sponges for 2 hours. Replaced 100% of water and observing now for 48hrs. Initially, flatworms turned white then dissolved. 4 table spoons of salt per gallon of water.

Can't tell for certain, but this looks like bite marks to me?

Yep those are bites

The KCl should kill AEFW but it won’t do anything about the eggs. Therefor you should plan for multiple rounds of dip. I dip all incoming corals once a week for at least 4 weeks.

Eh... I might just trash it. I really wanted a blue stag, but without having a QT tank set up, I dont think it's worth the risk.

I did 2 30 min KCl dips and clipped the base off a solid 1" from the bottom, but risking an infection just doesn't seem worth it...

100% trash it. And if it is a vendor here please post where it came from.
