Is this AEFW damage (new frag)

[thatmanMIKEson]

I just recieved this paletta blue today but noticed a strange pattern on the skin anyone with any thoughts if its AEFW?

It does unfortunately look like it. Have you dipped it? It’s really easy to tell outside of the water under some strong household lighting. Here’s my discovery from 4 months ago

That pattern looks like AEWF. Dip the coral and keep separate of your other sps.

Ok I have a few in hand and it does look like it i just can't believe *** did it to me again!

I dont know what to do I've thrown them out before but I really want this frag, idk if its worth it, I did a good concentrated bayer dip but it scares me

Polyclad...not as bad?

If you’re asking whether you should toss it, you know what to do :(

Well that sux it may be fine but I trashed it sorry, I hope my tank didn't catch AEFW's from that one dirty frag.

Buying frags is like Vegas you could win big and you could catch something

I’ve dealt with AEFW three times. That’s AEFW. It’s hard to see the buggers.

Late to the party, but I would have cut it off the plug and dipped in potassium chloride. It kills them. It does not stun them (like Bayer) it shrivels them up and melts them.

There are not eggs on live coral flesh. They are on dead skeleton and the darn plug. Always cut acros off the plug.

That is very good advice, and will keep that in mind

I only use potassium chloride on acros. Nothing else. But it THE BEST dip for aefw.
1 tablespoon per gallon tank water.
