I've dipped my rock with coral on.it about five times to get rid of GHA aswell as bristleworms. I just dipped it a few min ago and no worms came out at all so I think they are all gone. The gha is white now. My question is, is it okay to put in the tank jow, even if the gha is still on there, but white?

sure

everyone that doses fluconazole is doing that...letting it degrade in tank. or eaten by grazers now that's its dying

I don't do it in the tanks I run w peroxide though, that stuff breaks down into more detritus, and clouding waste is among the top causes of the GHA originally. not water params...if its helping you to just simply dip, then some dying algae isn't any different than when people dose fluc to a massive gha system and it all dies internally. Id do neither, however.

the sickest upgrade known to peroxide dipping is rasping

before using peroxide next time, take out the rock and use a steak knife tip to grate it off, dig it out at the anchors, chip away a bit of anchor area it doesn't hurt anything

clear the rock via knife tip, rinse it all off

in the spot you can't see algae any more, then apply peroxide, clearing up cells vs a messy plant, rinse, reuse.
