Best Treatment for Monti Nudi's?
So I have not added a Montipora to my system for about a year ... except for a stupid freebie cap that was thrown in with several acro frags purchased. I didn't want the cap, but felt guilty about tossing it as I don't like to kill living corals. The cap and new acro's went through a 3 week QT with 3 treatments over the 3 weeks ... one Levamisole bath, 1 dip of Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure and a Fluke Tab bath. So somehow some eggs must have made it through and I now have nudi's attacking my poker star, superman and Leng Sy cap. They have yet to hit 2 other caps, but I know I have to pull them as well.
My question is, which is the best treatment for these? I know that both Levamisole and TMPCC do the trick along with a tooth brush to scrape off the eggs, but which is less harsh on the coral? I have lost acro's to Levamisole, but not sure about a Monti's reaction. I plan on pulling all the Monti's out of the display and placing them into a QT system for treatment and holding for a minimum of 4 weeks. Also, should I treat them every 3 or 4 days rather than once a week (7 days) so that I can try and break the egg cycle? Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
