A coral quarantine tank is a great way to prevent Acro Eating Flatworms (AEFW), Red Bugs and other parasitic pests in a reef tank.
The best way to keep AEFW from entering a tank is to dip them in something that will kill them and not the coral. I use Bayer Advanced Complete Insect Killer.
Red Bugs are relatively easy to treat and eliminate in a reef tank. Not so with Acro Eating Flatworms (AEFW). Eggs can survive dips.
