So I have the AEFW. All SPS were removed and placed in the new frag system after a dip in Coral Rx. I inspected all corals and used a razor to remove visible egg clusters. I will keep the display free of SPS for 2 months, or longer is needed.
Here's a couple of pics after the dip last night:
Rasberry Limeade
Jason Fox's Grinch Monti (not dipped)
Misc Acro from a local reefer:
My Tri-color:

Doubt it was the dip. It slimed up so I put it in a high flow area and forgot to move it. I think it was just getting blasted for 3 days and could not take the flow.

No not ORA. In that case I have a bi-color! This one is a deep purple w/green polyps - the pic is usless as the coral is the brightest purple I have seen on the whole body.
After 2 dips one week apart they are looking much better. I have polyp extension again. I will keep them out of the display as long as it takes and I'll deal with what ever dies as the cost of having a clean tank once more.
I'm going to take this time to work on adding the O3, cleaning up the wires behind the tank, adding the top off etc... I may even add ~20 fish.

Wow, sorry to hear you got this pest and that you lost that beautiful piece.:too_sad:
Sorry for the troubles Rik, another fun part of the hobby :angel:
Best of luck with the dips...
Any idea on what "~20 fish" are you thinking of adding? :xd:

They will get a rose to live in this w/e
What can you do? I'm just happy I have the time and energy to beat the little jerks.
Arriving later today:
5 Female Lyertail Anthias
1 Male Lyertail Anthia
8 Green chromis
5 Longspine Cardinals
2 Yellow Coris Wrasses
My goal is a tank that looks way over stocked like the one at the Smithsonian down town (seen below). I will be feeding lots, skimming heavy and doing a 20% water cahnge every Sunday night.
