If it is from CoralMorphologic there is no purpose to dip.....In fact there is very little if anything that will come in on Ricordea. Most rics come in on rock rubble or bits of rock where there is very little for anything to hide. There is only one thing I ave found that actually eats on Ricordea and from what I have seen an heard, read that there is very little chance of you getting anything that will cause issues with other corals.
