Dipping LPS

[FishWife]

Just got home from Marine Scene with ricordias, sun corals. blasto, and open brain. Can/should we dip these in regular iodine-based Reef Pure? Package says for "SPS, LPS, and most softies." How about the ricordia?

 

TIA for speedy advice!

I dip mine in flatworm exit only. Never seen a reason for iodine. I have only heard of it being used on SPS

Thanks. Well, the package said "LPS, SPS, and most softies," so we went ahead. Shouldn't hurt. THANKS for responding... gotta get these into tanks.

 

Wonder why Marine Scene keeps water at .028???

Maybe it's not iodine based after all... looks it, though... Well, here's hoping!

I dipped mine when I got it. I also did a freshwater dip on my seastar and it didn't hurt it. 1 min though.
