Hey guys!
Just left a conference and got an assortment of corals from torches to ricordea. Are there any corals that cannot or should not be dipped in Bayer? Thank you !
 
I haven't found any or heard of any that are effected by Bayer. It attacks the nervous system, which corals don't have.
 
I've dipped many different types of corals in Bayer without any problems. Including larger, fleshy LPS such as Trachyphyllia and Euphyillia.

No coral that I have dipped in Bayer has responded poorly.

+1 to that. No developed central nervous system, no problem! At least from the pesticide. I suppose if you really went wild and put them in 100% bayer there would be no saltwater and a lot of the binders or whatever else they use, but from the pesticide perspective the coral will be fine.
 
Have yet to dip any soft corals with it but have used it on lots of different LPS and SPS and have had no problems.
