Reef Dipping

[bootz]

So far i have dipped all my reef but they were SPS. I know this may sound dumb but do you dip soft corals? i just picked up a Neon Green Palau Nephthea from live aquaria ( got a bday gift certificate for em) and it is aqua cultured but just curious if there was a different kind of dip you had to use as opposed to the normal iodine ones. thanks

Yes, palys, zoas and other soft corals you can dip using a dip like CoralRx or ReVive.

I should add It is also good to dip them after fragging. I dip my Xenia after fraging. I dipped my kenya tree when I first got it as well as GSP, yellow polyps, sympodium and mushrooms.

I dip all of my corals. I just use Kents Lugol Solution, no matter what type of coral it is. It was the only dip my LFS had, so I picked it up. I was having issues with my LPS, so I pulled them out and dipped them and within a week they were looking great. It worked awesome for me, so I'll continue to use it. It certainly can't hurt.

Yup, I use Coral Rx. Just make sure you follow the directions of whatever solution you choose.
