So not same water plce? Even tho they came from same tank?
no mostly damage to coral. if you can get tham in safely sure but why rush. its not so much about the water really. Id use the same unless it was a gorg or leather.

I can completely understand that. I do dip highend corals separately in different containers.
fwiw I set three 2 ltr contiones up w the amazon 4 for $19 wavemakers in them.
dip in 1
rinse in 2
rinse in 3
and a wide pan w water to inspect and scrape and kill aptasia.
If I need to re dip I change the water in #3 .
I did say I was Paranoid.
