To dip or not to dip Coral rx?

[Afaylenerich88]

So I have 5 new arrivals. I was wondering if I can use coral rx on these corals
And what would be the preferred method for these corals

2 Zoas small frags 1-2 polyps each
1 alveopora 4 inch colony
1 long hammer
1 green star polyp

THANKS!!!!

Some people like to dip, others don't. It really depends on how your running your tank.

I want to dip them just don’t know if I can use coral rx on these corals or will it have a negative affect on any of them.

Go for it, you won't hurt the corals

Well I don’t exactly “go for” anything. I like to make a clear path to success. About 200$ worth of coral so want to make sure there isn’t another preferred methodology for dipping certain corals. Other than coral rx I know it kills most pest but I’m trying to take the path of least resistance.

I have dipped everyone of those with Coral Rx with success. You won’t have issues. I just follow exactly what the bottle says. Personally I do separate water for each individual coral, but that’s just me

I use it.

Definitely use it, I always dip in coralRX and have seen pests like flatworms, asterina stars come off. I dip all my corals using coralRX and I haven't had any losses related to dipping. I usually float the bag for 15 min then dip at full strength for around 2 minutes while using a turkey baster to blow off pests and maintain water flow and then gently rinse the coral with tank water as to not bring the dip into my DT.

The answer is always dip.
CoralRx has always been good too us

Dipping is a good practice to keep potential pests out, plus Coral Rx is very safe and effective. I say go for it!

I've also dipped many zoas and a hammer (as well as some not on your list) in both coral RX and bayer. I've had no problems that I suspect are related to the dip.

Yes to dip. Watch what rushes out of them...
