I talked about this before....Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer....4 mls per 500 mls of tank water. You get a life-time supply (40 oz) for about $12. It's "safe" and based on nicotine...a neurotoxin to the little buggers that infest our corals.

Coral RX.....and KZ's Flatworm stop for AEFW

I use a small plastic container, add some salt water from the display tank and dip with Revive.

Another vote for Bayer here. Works great and IME is easier on most SPS with less browning out.

Ditto! I used Bayer on a large acro shipment a while back and wow. The amount of critters that fell off were astonishing. And I didn't lose a single thing from the dip...the few that I did lose were already in bad shape to start with and I credit those losses to general stress of overseas transit. I have since used it multiple times before adding any new SPS and I'm thoroughly satisfied

I use Bayer for pest. If it's some sort of 'illness', I use Revive.
