IS methylene blue reef safe?

[DrDany]

Hi, I have 160L tank with Soft/LPS corals; shrimp; snails and some fish. I'm trying to introduce methylene blue as they are showing very early signs of white spots. I just wanted to know is methylene blue is safe for corals/snails/shrimps as well. THANKS HEAPS!!

I believe Methylene Blue Is used in baths, primarily for ammonia burns and other wounds. I don't think you normally dose it into water. IMHO I wouldn't use with shrimp or coral. but,

Methelyne Blue is not reef safe. It also heavily stains the water and silicone so even if it were it’s nothing you’d want to use in a reef tank.

Methylene blue and green are designed to be used as a "bath" not as a dosing agent in a QT.

It's not reef safe, it's used as a bath.

Do not put methylene blue in your display.
