Dips
 
So my 6 headed purple torch got the bugs as well, and I've dipped it in a 50/50 tank water:peroxide mix for 3 mins. We will see if the torch survives.

Lol I am pretty sure I have something similar on my torch. Let me know how it goes for you. Torch looked great and all of a sudden lots of tiny white critters and now it doesn't open as much. Did an iodine dip and it did not help. I read about the interceptor as well. I am hoping to pick up a Melanurus*wrasse see if it will eat whatever it is.

Torch
 
Ya that's exactly the problem and it seems that its pretty new or unknown what the hell these bugs are. So far I'm having good success with the peroxide. After 3 minutes of the torch being in the peroxide, the top layer of the water is absolutely packed full with bugs.

Lol I thought about doing a peroxide dip but I was scared to dip the torch. I do it for all my zoas and I have done it before on some other lps to rid them of hair algae with no problems. Keep posted how the torch fairs over the next few days. Good luck :)

what was your peroxide ratio?

canadianbudz604 04-27-2015 02:08 AM

Peroxide
 
50/50 with the cheap 3% stuff from the dollar Store. The torch seems to be perfectly fine now. (I need a camera)
