Yikes, Rich, I hope that wasn't from your display or frag tank...

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

Just some pics I got online. I have seem them in person and they are pretty visible but only put of the water. I had a friend of mine who got infected by aefw and wiped out his collection worth a few thousands bucks. Sigh, such a heart break.

Got these somehow this fall too...
always dipped and inspected new corals and most of the time reglueing on new plugs to lessen the risk of eggs.... but still got them !
QT is the only way to be sure...

BUT many reefers actually lives with them quite well (reefbum was a great example) some blasting and wrasses helps...
I choose no to tear down the tank and just dip the more affected/accessible colonies or frag them... and since december I don't see them anymore, no more bite marks and sps are thriving again... we'll see !

here are some pics I took at the beginning...

adults




can you see him on the coral ?


eggs




Bite marks

lol. Unfortunately that looks like a preventative, which could possibly be too late I don't add corals without cutting off the base and the tissue near the base, so eggs wouldn't be much of a concern.
This time, I got a frag from Wayne, checked it under the scope and dipped, but it died. So Wayne gave me another and I just assumed it would be safe like the last one and just dropped in on the frag rack. I checked all pieces anywhere near it and nothing, so hopefully this is just another wake up call to check every single piece that goes in the tank.
