Used as part of a standard quarantine or acclimation routine, it reduces the risk of introducing common reef pests — including bugs and other surface contaminants — that can spread to established corals once a new specimen is added.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThe formula is made from natural ingredients, including water, surfactants, and organic salts. It contains no iodine, no oils, and no aggressive oxidative ingredients that can stress or darken coral tissue. The dip works in five minutes and is safe for use on a wide range of coral types.

The dip solution must be mixed with water from your own aquarium. Tap water contains chlorine and different mineral content that can stress corals independently of the dip chemistry. Pull water from your display tank or a prepared saltwater mix.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGently swirl the coral throughout the dip. Passive soaking is less effective than active agitation. Swirling the coral in intervals during the 5-minute window helps dislodge pests that would otherwise hold on through a still soak.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse in a separate container before returning to the tank. After dipping, place the coral in a clean container of aquarium water to rinse off the dip solution before it goes back into the display. Do not skip this step — returning the coral directly from the dip to the tank introduces the solution to the aquarium, which it is not formulated for.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemove all hitchhikers before dipping. Shrimp, crabs, snails, and other organisms that may be living on the coral frag must be removed before dipping. The Dip is not safe for invertebrates and will harm them if left on the coral during treatment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOnline exclusive: this item is ordered in for you and is usually ready within a few business days.
