Should I dip this coral??

[PeterB113]

Just got my order in the mail. Im floating the bag right now its a porites coral with bisma worms or "christmas tree coral or rock worm coral. My question is will dipping kill the bisma worms?? Please let me know what you guys think. I was going to use revive by 2 little fishies.

Good question. Dip would probably kill the worms?? Maybe do an inspection and even quarantine it if you can?

I don’t think it would hurt them, but I wouldn’t risk it. I’d do a visual inspection and a standard acclimation without a dip, if it were me.

I dont trust it with worms.
I understand what youre trying to accomplish. I personally would place ock in a bucket and acclimate it adding a cup of water every 15 minutes and observe for any pests, etc that would come out. Tree worm rock isnt as pourous as live rock which is a plus for discovery of foreign hitchhikers

Ok so i just checked it visually for larger hitchikers and drip acclimated ,looking good. Hopefully its not harboring any crazy hitchikers. Thanks for your help and advice.
