Fantastic news! I'm hoping to give my torch a shot in the next couple days. Fortunately, no signs of spread but I've kept my temps pretty stable and relegated to the frag tank which is otherwise mostly mushrooms. Going to give Exodus a try first then maybe Ivermectin. Do LPS tolerate Ivermectin? Either way, LPS have a lot more options than SPS from my research. I've even got sacks of magnesium chloride and potassium chloride ready to give a shot as well.
Just watched the video and dang those guys are big! I forgot the burrows and their bodies are multiple lengths of their antenna. Did you try suctioning them out with a pipette or syringe with the low dose? I'm curious if that would've helped reveal what the efficacy was at that dose

So where’d you get the ivermectin?
Oh interesting, I thought I saw one of them in your latest video but maybe that was just some funky looking mucus. Thanks for the testing!I’ve tired Exodus and KCI. Neither worked. Not sure how LPS tolerate Ivermectin. It appears to be pretty gentle on Acro’s.
Next time I plan to extract them to see exactly what the look like. The antennas are clear and smaller. The worms themselves seem to be a darker brown/black color. I’d love to get one under my microscope.
I do plan to try Praziquantel, and I’m curious about interceptor, because if I remember correctly, somebody used it and said it wiped out all their Spionid worms. That could actually be used in-tank.
Ivermectin will be hard to use in-tank, because it kills Pods, Stomatella snails, (probably other snails and maybe even Vermetid snails), and I think shrimp. So if it wipes out all these critters at one time, it could cause a large nutrient spike or ammonia spike which could nuke all the SPS. This may be able to be combated with something like Dr. Tim’s One and Only coupled with water changes or similar. Not sure. It would likely be similar to adding uncured LR to your system. The die off in the rock will cause ammonia and nutrients to rise.
What magnification is this?From a chunk of coralline off my rocks
Just found this post. The one in my platygyra released what looked like eggs, hoping I don't start seeing more. Good thing I only have one (spinoid worm)Depends a bit on the species, but:
