I got some corals and coco worm a few weeks ago that were heavily infested with mamouth vermetids and aptasia and other critters. I cut off and scrubbed off with salt on a tooth brush and H2O2 on the skeletons everything I could. However, a few weeks later I am seeing new ones poking out through the skeletons and some through the polyps. They are in QT at the moment while I figure out what to do. The corals in QT are 2 fox coral, 1 button scolly and one candy cane plus the huge coco worm tube.

Personally Id get rid of anything with a vermatid between the polyps.

If its on a skeleton you can scrub the crap out of it and epoxy over the area.

Hate to say it but if youre seeing new ones growing they have probably already spread.
