      What are people using for coral dips?

      I've been using Lugol's iodine for about 10 years and I am curious if anything better has come to the market during that time. What are people using to dip new SPS/Zoa/LPS frags these days?

      What about SPS specifically? I've read about Bayer insecticide, seems harsh, but I AEFW are nasty. Revive seems popular. I used to use Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure, but it seems that has been discontinued.

      Bayer is prob one of the best for sps pest, but properly cleaning is key prior to re/introducing corals back to the tank.

      I exclusively use a revive. Bayer is a neurotoxin, and is very bad for our bodies if it contacts our skin.

      I use revive because it kills AEFW. I have received sps frags, and at a higher/more concentrated dose, it literally dissolves the AEFW off new frags. If any come off the frag, I will just toss it in the trash and call it a loss.

      I use revive or melafix for my SPS. Do yourself a favor, pop those frags off the plugs they came on and glue new ones on. Trust no one.

      Exactly. Always cut the plugs off, regardless if anything comes off.
