How long can Chaeto survive RO Dip?

[ChaetoFarm_Kai]

Got a nice clump of chaeto today from a well known shop. Was disappointed to see a nice fat aiptasia in the bottom of the bag when I got home. My system is 100% aiptasia free and I’d like to keep it that way. Can chaeto survive an overnight RO soak, I’m doubtful of this but it sure would be nice. My options are pressurized tap water rinsing, RO dip/soak, and bayer.

I have tortured my Chaeto to get rid of pests. 24 hrs in fridge, Bauer dip, coral rx dip and then FW dip for 36 hours. Came out pretty beat up. Put it in fresh salt water, dosed nitrate, phosphate and Chaeto grow under light. In 3 weeks it came back growing lush.
