My DT was majorly infested for many years, watching beautiful zoa colonies get chocked out, encrusted SPS recede, etc. Since I planned on starting up a large frag system I figured it was a great time to try and cut out ALL my corals in my tank, remove all snails and crabs and put them in my frag system.
So this is what I did:
I used "Pro-Sense safe-guard Canine Dewormer". Fenbendazole granules at 22.2%. 1 gram mixed up in 1 gallon of water treated 111 gallons of SW. I used 1.5 grams total for 170 total gallons of SW. I turned off my skimmer, GFO reactor and removed my carbon for 72 hours. Then 20% water change afterwards. I turned my skimmer back on, put back in carbon and turn GFO reactor again. 3-4 days later I did another 20% water change.
I wish there was an easier way to kill all the BSP but I'm not sure there is. The corals that were encrusted on rocks and stray zoas/palys that were stuck to rocks all did fine through my treatment to this day (1 month later). All Blue Clove Polyp D-E-A-D dead! C ya! I'm now putting most all of my corals back into my DT now. All seem good to this day with no sign of BSP.
Before:
After:
I cut up all of my mother colonies and put back nice chunks of mini's to stat over again. I have tons of frags FS now.
Let me know if you have any questions.
