Fauna Marin AEFW M 500 mL

Advanced Support for Acropora Corals During AEFW Management

Acropora Eating Flatworms (AEFW) are among the most destructive pests a reef hobbyist can encounter. Left untreated, they can cause tissue damage, poor polyp extension, fading color, and eventually the loss of prized SPS colonies.

Fauna Marin AEFW M is an advanced coral care solution specifically developed to support Acropora corals during AEFW infestations. Rather than acting as a traditional pesticide, AEFW M works by strengthening the coral's natural defenses and stimulating protective mucus production, helping corals better withstand flatworm pressure while supporting overall health and recovery.

Whether you're treating an active infestation or incorporating it into a comprehensive pest management plan, AEFW M is an excellent addition to any serious SPS keeper's reef maintenance routine.

Why Choose AEFW M?

Unlike harsh chemical treatments that can stress sensitive reef inhabitants, AEFW M is designed to support the coral itself.

Benefits

• Formulated specifically for Acropora corals
• Supports corals during AEFW infestations
• Encourages increased protective mucus production
• Helps strengthen the coral's natural defenses
• Can be used as part of a comprehensive AEFW management program
• Easy-to-dose liquid formula
• Safe for reef aquariums when used as directed

Understanding AEFW

Acropora Eating Flatworms are tiny parasites that feed exclusively on Acropora corals.

Common signs include:

• Reduced polyp extension
• Bite marks on coral tissue
• Fading coloration
• Tissue loss
• Egg clusters on coral bases
• Unexplained decline of otherwise healthy Acropora

Early detection and consistent treatment are key to protecting valuable SPS collections.

How AEFW M Works

Instead of directly attacking flatworms with pesticides, Fauna Marin AEFW M focuses on improving the coral's ability to defend itself.

The specialized formula promotes protective mucus production while helping strengthen natural resistance, making conditions less favorable for continued flatworm damage.

For severe infestations, AEFW M should be used alongside proven reef husbandry practices such as:

• Inspecting new coral additions
• Coral dipping
• Manual egg removal
• Quarantine procedures
• Regular monitoring

How to Use

1. Shake the bottle well before each use.
2. Dose directly into your aquarium once daily.
3. Before dosing, turn off any UV sterilizers and ozone systems, and remove activated carbon or other chemical filtration media for the duration of treatment.
4. Continue dosing according to the appropriate schedule below.
