I got out of the hobby 4 years ago after getting aefws, didnt have time to deal with them and decided to call it quits. Decided to setup a tank a few months ago and picked up three frags today from a well know LFS. Dipped them in RedSea DipX and found two spiders. Never dealt with them before but not taking any chances, tossed the frags.

Questions
1. Should i let the LFS know? I dont want a refund. It was my decision to throw them out. Not taking any chances

2. Whats the best dipping procedure now? I live in a small apartment so quarantine tank isnt an option. I was going to dip, re glue to a new plug (if no pests) then watch on a frag rack for a few weeks before i mounted to the rockwork.

I would let the LFS know, Also Polo reef just found some spiders, there Vet tech said not necessarily a bad thing, unless you have the Zoa eating ones
Also I use Professor Polyps from @ReefLegends
