Does coral revive kill acro eating flatworms?

[Weetabix7]

Probably not.

From what I remember, Interceptor is the only thing that does.

[WindCloudWRX]

Damn. I though interceptor was for red bugs. I've been reading here and on r/c. Feelings seemed mix about revive. LOL on flatworms.

Yes it does. Dipped yesterday an a ton dropped off and died. Just not the eggs.

I would recommend Bayer Insecticide. Sounds crazy, but it works pretty damn well.

 

It's not as harsh to the corals compared to Revive but kills any AEFW or Red Bugs with ease (except eggs). In fact, I use the Bayer Insecticide dip for SPS/LPS/Softies (If it's an infection, however, I use Revive or Lugol's).

 

This was the thread that got me to try it:

I bought Bayer complete. I was thinking of weekly dips alternating both. No red bugs that I can tell just nasty and aggressive Amakusaplana acroporae.

I know that it is bad to recommend livestock to combat pests like these, but six-line wrasses are awesome at killing flatworms. Just make sure that you really want one in your tank, and that you will want it when the flatworms are gone.
