PM me your number and I can give you a call before I head over there to let you know I'm on my way.-Steve Steve- It turns out I have another piece that has a couple of branches and is 5"+. I also have some yellow and red stylo I can frag for you too. My # is 963.5479. About 1pm should be fine. I have to wash the pug so the little dude stops scratching...he is allergic to something in the air. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+mcallahan Posted May 17, 2009 Author Share Posted May 17, 2009 I wanted to let everyone know that Little_Reef picked up the larger colony this morning and he just called me to let me know that his piece did indeed have acro eating flat worms on it. So everyone who wanted a frag of this slimer, I'm not going to risk having these flatworms making their way around our tanks, so I'm throwing it all out. Lisa - I'd consider throwing yours out as well. Its just not worth the risk. Slimer is easy to find, getting rid of acro eating flatworms is not. None of my other acros are showing any signs of being affected by the flat worms, so I don't think they've spread. Sorry to break the bad news, but its not worth hurting our tanks and the club.

Brooks Posted May 17, 2009 Share Posted May 17, 2009 I'll be all serious now... For anyone that doesn't find these to be a threat, and easy to get rid of, you're very wrong. These can spread rapidly; they lay eggs as soon as they're comfortable in their environment, and those eggs hatch quickly. Signs of these are not conspicuous. Very close (with a magnifying glass) examination of the coral is 100000000% necessary. White "scratches" can be seen along the base of the coral. These "scratches" are actually bite marks from the Acropora Eating Flatworms (AEFW). If left untreated, your Acropora sp. will being to die before your eyes. NOTE: THESE ARE PRACTICALLY INVISIBLE! VERY CLOSE EXAMINATION IS THE ONLY WAY TO SEE THESE! DOING AN IODINE DIP AND SLOSHING THE CORAL AROUND IN THE IODINE WILL KNOCK THEM OFF, AND YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THEM BETTER. -Brooks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barderer Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 thanks for being honest about finding them. We all have to work together to take these pests out of distribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonya Posted June 26, 2009 Share Posted June 26, 2009 I would like some if you still have any left. Tonya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+mcallahan Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Tonya- I threw it all out as I got a report from another ARC member that it had acro eating flatworms on it. ITs a pretty common coral tho so put a request out on the want to buy forum and I'm sure someone has some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
