    Is this a good candidate for a reef dip?

    I used this stuff when I had purchased a new Polyp colony. I read polyps could carry bad critters. So I tried it out, and you wouldn't believe how fast the critters left the colony. I took the colony out of the dip, back in the tank, and it was all good from there.

    i would try something like that but
    almost all of them are already gone
    i pulled out 6 and i have been watching it for a good 20 mins or so
    and nothing else has moved except for one that i can't quite get hes tucked in at the base of a polyp
