Ok update last night everything was normal fish and shrimp eating great all other corals looked ok I scrubbed all the clove polyps with a tooth brush about 10 min latter all of a suden all the fish are hiding and the tank smells horrible then I noticed they where dying off quickly removed both cleaner shrimp all the fish and started the skimmer and carbon I only lost the yellow tang (o well) lol rest of the fish are ok in the other tank all the corals and rock and blood shrimp are in that tank still and have not lost any coral seems that the tank will hit a Certain point after 48 hours roughly maybe due to a larg die off of the blue clove so I do recommend this just maybe remove all fish and snails shrimp seem to tolerate it i would remove them also

Ok guys a week later killed all my fish lol except cleaner wrass all my shrimp and crabs servived and I'm clear of all blue clove not a single one left it did not kill any pods or star fish it was kinda hard on some corals but there all fine now even mushrooms are ok so I would recommend doing this just make sure to remove all fish and be very carfull on tank conditions you see something going wrong always have a back up plan

Other posts on using fluke or panacur usually have fish living, losing snails and inverts. You had shrimp, crabs, pods and starfish live...so weird.

The process is intriguing, but I don't know if I have the stones to pull the trigger...
