Hello Xoenrt209, I am afraid that you have been misinformed. ParaGuard, while not as harsh as formalin or other formaldehyde based medications, is not reef or invertebrate safe. Some users have used the product with some invertebrates without harm but this is not generally the case. ParaGuard is still an aldehyde based medication and is potentially lethal to coral and other invertebrates.

Effective, economical solution for ectoparasites and external fungal/bacterial lesions (i.e. fin rot). A pH-neutral, methanol-free, 10% aldehyde blend solution with a synergistic concentration of malachite green and fish-protective polymers. Useful in hospital and receiving tanks for new fish. Use 1 ml for every 2 gallons of marine or freshwater. 100 ml treats approximately 200 gallons.
