I somehow picked up some AEFW's. Not sure how as I haven't added any new frags in months. Did have a power outage due to storms that lasted about 8 hours, no circulation. Manually did what I could (hopefully Santa will be bringing a B/Backup). Also had the lighting schedule get screwed up and took a few days to get right (write down all settings for future use!). Yellow Wrasse didn't come out for a five days.

Noticed Red Planet, and Rainbow Milli most affected. I dipped all affected colonies. I have been using turkey baster and maxi-jet to blow off corals. In beginning I saw 20 or so adults. I have not found any more as yet, but have some FWE in case needed.Here is picture of infected Milli colony with eggs visible.

I picked up frags from a reef show and dipped in coral RX and boom, double whammy, got both AEFW and red bugs. Picked up a melanurus wrasse today and will probably be hiding in the sand for the next week or so.
Uses interceptor 3 treatments for the red bugs and hopefully that will be the end of the bugs.
Following this thread to see what can be done without losing my SPS colonies

Lots of successes with long-term use of Flatworm Stop - 6+ months. It seems to interrupt their life cycle although it does not kill the existing worms.

There are some threads that I started if you want more info.
