So you go and buy several nice corals and take them home with great anticipation that one day they are going to look amazing in your display tank. But first they must be dipped and preferably quarantined.
Bayer insecticide, Revive and/or CoralRX are all ready to go.
Now for the $1,000.000 question, which coral can handle such dipping and which cannot!
Is there a way of looking up such information on the web so as to not kill or seriously hurt a coral due to dipping in the Bayer insecticide?
Thanks!
Bill
 
Good question, and following along. For SPS I know that bayer is fine for all of them. Not sure about shrooms and lps though. And what about clams?!?
