Corals had a rough rap ride home.

[lilfish717]

Hey guys, I bought a bunch of corals at rap. All lps besides a sshroom. I bought 2 big lobos and a torch. They are appearing to be fine. The problem is with many of the frags, especially the chalices. Most have a little bit of tissue loss. Nothing severe but from some reason almost anytime a coral in my tank gets a little bit of tissue loss it goes south from there. What can I do to try and make sure these guys make it. Lesson learned for next time, have a very good setup for the car ride home and I actually got some good ideas in my head.

For corals that have had a rough trip, I dip in Coral RX and then Kents Lugols.

I just bought this reef dip from seachem. I usually don't dip corals but I heard good things and I found a bottle for 6$ at rap. Will this work?

Big fan of Seachem products. Have not used this one. It says it has iodine which is good. Give it a try and let us know how it works.

Will do. I already acclimated them, so take them out my tank. Dip and replace?

I use Seachem dip for all my new corals. Works great

Me too. My LFS turned me on to it in addition to CoralRX and I haven't looked back.

You also mention "when" your corals have a rough ride. Curious as to your chances of their survival.

I don’t mean to hijack the thread, but I have some dip I bought (which unfortunately expired only a month after), will it still work?

I'd use it
