Looks like aiptasias, but seems odd that they would have detached and reattached to the bag during transit.

Theres a ton. We are dipping it now. Trying to get as much off as I can. Is it gonna spread. There mostly floating in the dip now

If it's aiptasia, as I suspect, it will absolutely spread and a dip likely won't get them all. They're pretty resilient.
Aiptasia-x or a similar treatment is the best bet

Those things survive dips. Make sure you scrub the frags very well with a soft toothbrush. There are microscopic spores that they release that are invisible to the eye.. I took every precaution and still have them in my system

IMO at some point down the line your gonna get them. So many tanks have them that ppl just deal with them and even most pet stores have them in the stores rent free. If you can figure out a peroxide dip without harming the frag then that would be much more affective. Not much can survive hydrogen peroxide dips

10 bucks a head per aiptasia? or per coral... the count looks about the same.

How much peroxide for less than a bottle of water
