Looking at getting some new coral for my tank. These will be my first corals. What do you all dip your corals in?
 
Povidone Iodide and Brightwell Koral MD
 
Hydrogen peroxide and a paintbrush, apply to any algae you see on the frag plug

Hold that plug stem in your hand out of the water and brush pure 3% hydrogen peroxide on the algae and then let it sit for a min then place in tank

For pests I use coral rx + lugols
 
Sps
KCl..2 tablespoons per gallon of dip. 10-15 minutes.

Removing the plugs is the best practice IMO.
