That new coral can look clean in the bag, but the real risk is often hidden where you cannot see it. Pests can sit under frag plugs, inside tiny crevices, around dead skeleton, or even as eggs that survive a quick dip.
Coral quarantine gives you time to slow everything down. Instead of placing a new frag straight into your display tank and hoping for the best, you inspect it, dip it correctly, watch it closely, and only move it once it looks stable.
This guide shows you how to set up a simple coral quarantine process, what to check before and after dipping, which pests to watch for, and how to know when a coral is ready for your reef tank.
