Hello please see the below montipora and acropora frags. I dipped these all in roughly 1oz bayer per gallon of water first, then half a cap full of revive coral dip in a half gallon of water. Bayer dip was 10 mins, and then 10 mins in the revive dip with a small power head. After dipping I soaked them in a couple cups for saltwater for 5 mins. After that straight into the tank. Two questions: Will these frags survive, and should I change my dipping process. I just fed all these corals benereef and added a 16oz bottle of fresh phyoto from a friend.

It was probably the revive dip for 10 min. I don’t go past 6 min for sps and 3 or 4 at most for sensitive sps and smooth skinned acros.
Yea it’s my second choice after melafix lots of people do 10 because they see the directions, a very healthy acro might make 15 min ok but it’s still too much imo. Revive is a good dip if used less than about 8 min. Lps or softies 15 is ok. Also non of the frags looked encrusted at all which leads me to think they were recently cut. Fresh cuts, shipping and then a dip will be rough on any acro. Although I prefer fresh cuts from friends or pre orders from frag swaps.

Only way to know if they will survive is wait it out.
The encrusting montis you have i think they will make it.. the acroporas might bleach white but if the polyps stat itll recover too.. id keep really good flow on all of them
