Yeah yeah. I did that once. Got a nasty case of red bugs. Never again.
What's your routine with new coral acquisitions?

Float bag/container for ~15 minutes, drip acclimate anywhere from 30-90 minutes depending on if it was shipped or locally bought or how I am feeling =P Then a dip in Revive then into the display.

I hate it when my bedbugs get mixed with my redbugs.
Acclimate, dip, quarantine, dip, place, grow, frag, trade, repeat.

For SPS:
1. Temp acclimate by floating bag in sump for 15-20 minutes.
2. Dip in fresh tank water/Bayer solution w/powerhead for another ten minutes.
3. 'Rinse' in another container of fresh tank water. Turkey baste.
4. If no live critters, add to frag holders on DT bottom. Do not disturb.
5. Wait a couple weeks. If looking healthy, mount to appropriate DT space.
6. Enjoy.
