Hi,

If you order the corals from fraggarage.ca don't forget to DIP it.

My corals arrived infested with Flatworms. When I DIP them in Revive, 5-7 flatworms fell off. Also something else fell off, no idea what, maybe some other kind of worms.

So, be carefull. I don't know if it's normal to sell infested corals.

Next time i'll try another store.

No matter what, you should always dip, regardless the source...

I agree 100%. I even dip in between tanks in my own home. I have 3 tanks. One is a 180 and a 44 on the same systems, but there is separate socks for returns from each system. I dip between those two and my 120 display. Maybe over kill with the double system, but I've had AEFW, and planaria, and I wont ever risk cross contamination again, if I can ever help it.
I also use iodine no matter what. Usually in combination with a revive or something that's similar.

I totally agree that you gotta do some dipping and cleaning with new frags, mainly from other hobbyists who might not be up to speed on all the different pests out there. But I feel when you are in the business of selling and shipping frags, they should be pest free.
