Hello,
It has been years since I have had a tank and I remember doing a freshwater rinse, a coral rinse, a saltwater rinse and then usually glue onto the liverock location with a putty or superglue.
I do not currently have a tank.
BUT a neighbor is about a year into the hobby, has a small tank (20 gallons) and yesterday he dipped and then added two corals to his tank. Today he called me because his emerald crab and blue leg hermit died. Apparently he bought two new corals yesterday at the LFS. They advised him to use ReVive Coral Dip. So he took the corals home, dipped them in the ReVive and then put them directly in the tank. I told him I would have rinsed the corals in some tank water before putting them in the tank.
What is the correct way to introduce new corals in the tank?
