Dipping will help but the best is to have pest control like a coris wrasse or a peppermint shrimp.

I have a cleaner shrimp. Would a wrasse fight with my bicolor blenny.?
I have 5 clownfish, 1 bicolor blenny, 3 turbo snails, an urchin

No, they would get along along, I have both in my tank. Go with a coris or melanarus wrasse. Stay away from the six lines they can turn into bullies.

100% reef safe. You can double check them in liveaquaria.com for peace of mind. The coris is also called yellow wrasse be careful as it is not the same as a banana wrasse.

I don't really believe ph could have dropped like that... And if it did you have some serious bad stuff going on. Make sure you didn't accidentally shove the probe in the substrate. Find a way to verify the number or just clean and calibrate your probe would be my best advise.
