I've had a lot of euphyllia die recently. Over the course of a few weeks, it shrinks until it stops extending and just wastes away.

My favorite frammer is currently the latest victim.

I see these weird bumps on it. Can anyone tell me if it might be the cause?

Looks like Euphyllia "white bugs" Interseptor or Doc G's will kill them.

How can I go about eradicating it from the tank? Would dipping them be enough? Is it safe to assume all of the euphyllia in the tank is probably infected?

You can dose Interseptor to the tank. There are threads on here about it. Yes, I would treat as though all euphyllia are affected.

Where can I get Intersector? Is it reef tank or would I need to remove all euphyllia? Would just dipping kill all the bugs off or do they need a separate qt?

Dipping won't kill the bugs in the tank that aren't currently on a coral. Interseptor is for killing heartworm and internal parasites in dogs. It typically requires a prescription. However, there were some pet supply sites selling it online. I'm not sure if they still do. Check chewy.com
