    Well if anyone has run into these please let me know how you got rid of them. I have spend the last 2 hours doing Iodine dips, brushing with toothbrushes and picking them off with surgical tweasers. Anyone heard of a good cure???
    Stupid G** Dam F***ing pieces of chit. :mad: Wow I feel better now.:-[

    dip for the recommended doseage on the label, then 15 min freshwater dip.


    ***edit*** oh yeah, I NEVER put what the coral is attached to in my tanks. Dipping doesnt kill eggs. It looks like you're infested with them. So its going to be a few week process to remove them all. There is probally more eggs all over your tank.

    After the iodine dip and me picking at it with toothbrushs and tweaser I see no more adults on it at this time. I guess I will just have to set a side some time each night to look and pick. I left the corals on the plugs because I don't know where I want to put them yet. I am glad it is still on a plug not because I take it out to clean and pick on it so nothing falls off in the tank. There has to be something these things don't like.....the damn little phuckheads....:mad:
    I am going to have to set up a quaratine tank but I have no extra light to put there. Will have to make something do.
