Does Formalin kill starfish and other inverts like corals?
Just wondering if Formalin kills inverts. Do you know? Formalin is used to treat and kill ICH.
THANKS!!!

Im not sure, but I guess it is dangerous for them, it's dangerous for fish too if used incorrectly

Do not treat any fish in your main tank. Net it out and get a quarantine tank, barebottom, mega-cheap tank with a corner filter.

Formalin is known to be toxic to plants and algae. I would not use it in the presence of invertebrates.
