I think you are thinking about the rust colored flatworms and not the acro eating flatworms Deb.

It doesn't seem to work on nudis. It may kill some or at least irritate them enough to dislodge them, making them easier to see. I haven't been able to find anything that reliably works on nudis. The problem is the eggs, which none of the current dips/methods kill. They can be in any nook or cranny waiting to hatch. A few months back I received a really nice monti with nudi's, I resorted to fw dips and daily inspections, picking off what I could see. I thought I had them beat a couple of times but after 2 months I gave up. I read that Eric Bournman is releasing a new nudi treatment in "Advanced Reefkeeping" sometime in the fall.

Hi,

How did you manage to do a FW dip on a Montipora? I tried it before and the montiopora never survives its encounter with the freshwater. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

When I said resorted to fw dips that was after trying everything from Lugols, TMPCC, I even tried the Fluke tab treatment some are using for AEFW's. I figured Fw was worth a shot. The monti definitely took a big hit with fw, partially bleached out but not totally. It was still alive when I gave-up.
