Basically make it as hard as possible for these damn things to live in the tank. If i see more spreading then i will have to go the QT route.
I would like to avoid tossing the affected peices, a tri color nana(super sweet), a dark purple valida that grows like a beast, and a nice deepwater white and purple. They are all some of my favorites, i'd like to save them if at all possible.
I have not seen the worms themselves, from what i understand it is next to impossible to see them unless they are off the coral in a white bowl. But the white spots i am seeing on the coral definately matches pictures i have seen of other people's issues.
What dips can people reccomend that will be both effective but not stress the acros too much.

Revive is the best IMO, never stresses the corals at all.
FWIW when the guy was using six lines to help with AEFW, he had to blow them off the corals with a turkey baster so they would float around the tank and the six lines would eat them. Otherwise he said they wouldn`t go near them on the actual corals.
