Fauna Marin AEFW X is a unique, reef-safe liquid treatment specifically developed to combat Acropora Eating Flatworms (Prostomostomum acroporae). Unlike traditional dips that require removing corals from the tank, AEFW X is designed for in-tank use, targeting the parasites where they live and breed. It works by interfering with the flatworms' ability to feed and reproduce, while simultaneously stimulating the coral's natural mucous production to help them shed parasites and repair damaged tissue. AEFW X does not contain harsh pesticides or copper, making it safe for the biological filter and sensitive reef inhabitants.
AEFW X provides a comprehensive solution for managing flatworm infestations without the stress of removing large, encrusted colonies.
Direct In-Tank Treatment: Allows for the treatment of entire reef systems, reaching flatworms that may be hiding on rockwork or in inaccessible areas of the reef.
Non-Toxic to Invertebrates: Formulated to be safe for "pods," shrimp, snails, and other delicate reef organisms when used at the recommended dosage.
Tissue Recovery Support: Encourages the host Acropora to produce protective mucus, which aids in the healing of "bite marks" and prevents secondary bacterial infections.
Disrupts Life Cycle: Persistent use over the treatment period ensures that newly hatched flatworms are targeted before they can reach reproductive maturity.
No Impact on Bio-Filter: Does not harm beneficial nitrifying bacteria, ensuring your water quality remains stable throughout the treatment process.
How do I dose Fauna Marin AEFW X? The standard dosage is 4 ml per 100 L (26 US gal) of aquarium water daily. For best results, dose directly into a high-flow area of the tank.
How long does the treatment take? Treatment should be continued for at least 4 to 6 weeks to ensure that all generations of flatworms, including those currently in the egg stage, are successfully eliminated.
Do I need to turn off my protein skimmer or UV? No. You can leave all filtration running. However, it is recommended to remove activated carbon or ozone during the first few hours after dosing to prevent the treatment from being neutralized too quickly.
Is it a replacement for coral dipping? While AEFW X is an excellent in-tank management tool, it is still highly recommended to dip new coral arrivals in a dedicated pest dip (like Fauna Marin The Dip) as a first line of defense before they enter the display tank.
