Generally, there should be no need for Coral RX on an anemone. GENERALLY is the caveat. If it is attached to a rock I would use the ice trick to get it to detach and place without a rock. Pest usually can't hitch-hike a ride on a nem as there is no hard surface for them to cling to, just the rock if attached. Just use some DT water and give her a good but gentle blast with a turkey baster after acclimation and prior to putting in DT. Discard said water that you baster the nem in, of course. I'm not sure about the ricordea though. On the other hand, I have not heard of any long term negative consequences with dipping nems or ricordea with, specifically, CoralRX. It's a personal call but all the research I can glean on that particular product is that it is safe. You can and I would, contact the manufacturer to just be doubly certain. Let us know what they say.

Thank you, I will do that!
