Should I dip or quarantine a new coral?Updated 2 hours ago

Inspect the plug, base, tissue, and underside under bright white light. A dip labeled for the coral type can help dislodge some pests, but it does not replace observation or quarantine and may not affect pest eggs.

  • Follow the dip label's concentration and timing exactly.
  • Never mix unapproved treatments.
  • Rinse in separate clean saltwater after dipping.
  • Keep dip and shipping water out of the display aquarium.
