I'm working on designing a general invert quarantine protocol. Can I get some feedback on this? The goal is to get rid of common fish parasites/diseases: ich, velvet, brooklynella, flukes, uronema, internal parasites, and turbellarians, as well as hydroids in non-fish. Information is taken from Humble.Fish (Humblefish' website!) as well as seahorse.org . The protocol is for both sessile and mobile invertebrates.
  1. Acquire invertebrates
  2. Leave fallow for 77 days during which you:
    1. Dose with metronidazole at a rate of 250 mg/10 gallons for a period of 14 days to remove uronema.
    2. Remove hydroids via fenbendazole for non-corals, non-Astraeas, and non-starfish.
I have a related thread regarding fenbendazole and macroalgae, but what's the dosing of fenbendazole for non-coral inverts in order to kill off hydroids but keep everything else alive?

Evening,

That is an interesting approach for inverts. I don’t use fenbend so can’t help, Let‘s bump to see if anyone is around to chirp in.
