Thank you for the quick reply. I will dip in CoralRX. Do you have any suggestions for how long and how many repeats over the next few days?
Thank you. I am preparing the solution right now. Do you have a good way to identify the eggs? Do I need to pull the parassite off right?My pleasure! Yeah I would definitely try to dip and blow the adults off while their paralyzed, then inspect them and look for the eggs if you find the eggs i would dry them out with a paper towel (because they have a mucus membrane coating) and then get them off with a brush or something.. I would watch out and inspect the coral (dip if necessary ) until im sure there aren't any left...
The bug come off with CoralRX and you were right the eggs are very hard to clean off the coral but I think I got them all.Thank you. I am preparing the solution right now. Do you have a good way to identify the eggs? Do I need to pull the parassite off right?
Very happy to hear that! yeah the coral rx should stun the adults long enough to blow them off with a turkey baster or similar device. Yes sir those eggs can be tough to spot and difficult to remove, i would still keep an eye on that colony as well as the rest of the colonies you have to be on the safe side but it looks like you have things under control ! congrats!The bug come off with CoralRX and you were right the eggs are very hard to clean off the coral but I think I got them all.
