Coral Dip?

[eric31887]

Is there any benefit to dipping corals as far as growth or anything besides getting rid of pest? Would it benefit me in any way to take my corals out of my tank and dip them? If yes then how would it benefit me and them? Thanks

There is benefit when they have damage or when adding to your tank. If they are healthy (and already in your tank) your iodine concentration would be what takes care of them from the respect of a dip. Products like CoralRX and Brightwell MediCoral can help corals suffering from tissue damage to promote new growth, but as a general thing to do when your corals are healthy and pest free, no real value from my experience. Others may have a different view.

I don't dip them unless they are new or not doing well.
