[VividGreg]

Hey folks- we just uploaded a new video. We hope it will help people with parasite problems, or prevent people from getting them in their tanks in the first place. Hope you like it

Great video on what pests to look out for. Out of curiosity, doesn't putting the dipped corals back in the water where they were before you dipped them kind of counter productive? Are you just reintroducing the freshly dipped coral back into the parasitic environment rather that a FSW dip before placement into the tank?

Dave and I both missed this and have both called "Doh"... Sorry and thanks for catching the mistake. We were using corals that were parasite-free for the sake of the video so just forgot. Since your post we added a little text to the video stating it was best to use a third container. Thanks again!
Ladyreefer1983-- are you referring to the monti-eating nudibranchs we have in the video or yet another hideous parasite?
