I was reading earlier today that dipping some corals with iodine, like Green Star polyps, can actually hurt them. Anybody seen adverse reactions with iodine dips?
I havnt and I dip ALL new corals before they go in my tank.At times I'll even rinse them off under the tap in the kitchen depending on what I find after the dip.
Yote if you put them under the facet, do you then just plop them into the tank? :shock:
Why acclimate then?
I'm ashamed to admit it, but I've tossed corals in my tank without an acclimation. I've only done that once. I was in a hurry to leave and knew I would not be returning for about 12hrs. Couldn't leave them in the bag that long - so I tossed them in the tank with no acclimation.
I got lucky - they opened up the very next morning when the lights came on.
Don't EVER do that with any kind of invert or fish. :faint:
