Bayer as only dip

[Mr Fishface]

Hi guys, I am looking at buying a bunch of wild colonies of zoas and was wondering if Bayer is the only dip I should use or if I should use others too? I am most worried about the zoa eating nudibranchs and zoa spiders, is the Bayer enough for those or do I need to do a bath in something like flatworm exit as well?

This will be my first adventure buying some wild collected corals. I'm quite excited but want to make sure I am fully prepared for what may arrive on the rock. I plan on setting up a QT tank just for these corals too. That way if there are any nudibranchs I can dip several times to get rid of them.

I've never used bayer but I had good success with coral rx pro. Also, eggs are hard to kill so if they are wild colonies it might be worth having an observation tank set up temporarily.

Quarantine Them.... I Say.... Be Safe....

I have used Bayer and it'll get the job done. However, it won't necessarily kill eggs etc ( I know this to be a fact for montipora eating nudis). So, depending on the incubation cycle of what you're potentially dipping for you might need to do multiple dips over a few days.

I am planning on setting up a qt and observation tank just for these wild colonies. I am also planning on several dips over several days to make sure any eggs that hatch get dealt with.

What I'm wondering is if bayer is all I need? Or would I need a second dip like flatworm exit as well?

In my experience Bayer either stuns, or outright kills everything short of gorilla crabs during treatment. Its a big hammer and the only one I use.

Thank you, that is what I was hoping to hear
