IMO- NO
revive does not kill flatworms
haven't tried Coral RX yet, but i am hoping it kills flatworms since revive does not

revive doesn't kill flatworms? does it still do something to get them off of the surface?
i have seen it "stun" them but i have done experiments with heavy doses of revive and flatworms are able to survive it.
i am anxious to test with the bottle of coral RX i just picked up

I guess that gives me reason to be extra vigilant when dipping and inspecting new corals. Darn those flat worms.

I like Revive for general dipping. But I really like CoralRx, it seems to kill just about anything quickly. Its much stronger than revive but just as gentil on the corals. I dont like lugols or TMPCC with SPS, especially acros because iodine based dip can sometimes stain the coral.
I have been doing some testing with fresh water dips and so far I am getting some pretty good results. You must use RO/DI and bring the tempature and pH up to normal system water. The dip is a series of dips for 30 seconds. You can actually see the AEFW fall off the coral and turn from a brown/red to white and die. The FW body structure just cannot handle the freshwater and it immediatley kills them.
However still nothing for the eggs.

so then a good regiment would be to do an interceptor treatment if your really cautious and dip in revive or coralRX? maybe QT tank for furthur inspections? i know i need to learn more on this subject. i am just getting to my third week of redbug treatment and i don't think i will ever not dip after this.

I've accidentally left a monti in a batch the other day over night and it was just fine the next day.
I've also mixed up two cap full in less than 2 cups of tank water with out any ill effects. I have done this with every type of coral there is.
