Is there a dip procedure for inverts?

Is there a DIP procedure for inverts similar to the one we use for corals. Case in point - I'm looking at adding a couple of Red Coco Worm (Protula magnifica).

 

i have never dipped these. so i don't know


I can tell you to make certain you spin the tube around in your DT to make sure all the air bubbles are out.


they do not need any light (nor does light hurt) and they prefer moderate flow that's a little chaotic


I get better life out of worms when I use DT Phytoplankton.


I know you didn't ask all that. hope some of it helps.

 

I would probably just brush off its tube with a toothbrush or something to try and get any possible hitchikers off of it before putting it in the tank. Also make a good visual inspection of the tube.

 

Thanks

Good information/advise.

Thanks!!

 

Most coral dips are made from iodine, and inverts are extremely sensitive to iodine. I would not recommend it, you would probably end up harming them or even worse.

 

I agree with you but want to make this minor adjustment for clarification.

 

Whoops, thank you for clearing that up
