Coral first aid kit, must have items ???

  1. First thing is RODI water and salt so you can quickly mix up a batch.
  2. Buckets and air hoses for possible acclimation or separation.
Thats about it. When I have a sick fish I no longer pull them out of my tank. I believe we put too much stress on a fish showing signs of whatever by throwing every homemade remedy at them. Keep them in the tank with good enriched foods + water parameters and they will be fine.
 
Super glue, not only to re-glue corals or glue new frags, but you can also glue over pests.
Coral dips/insecticides. Some dips are made to try and help the coral recover, others will help kill or stun pests.
Other stuff I keep on hand, not necessarily as first aid but for coral keeping in general: tweezers, pipettes, bone cutters, forceps, turkey baster, steel scissors ("aquarium scissors"), extra frag plugs, range of sizes of containers (dipping, containing inside the tank, isolation), ziplocs/water tight containers, Hydrogen Peroxide (H2o2).
