So I want to know what coral dip I should get are they all the same are they slightly different from each other.
What cora Dip for soft corals and mushrooms and zoa.
 
I have used the peroxide based. Seems to work well and the coral seems unaffected.
 
I use Skoal!!! Keep that Skoal baby!!! but seriously I just use CoralRx... Alright I'm done for the night
 
Peroxide & potassium chloride are excellent generic dips. And they are not all the same. Each has pros & cons, no perfect solutions.
 
Coral RX is a personal favorite, others will have to confirm usability on soft corals.

for zoas you can’t go wrong with peroxide 3%. How you want to dilute it is up to you. I personally go just over a minute full strength. I do this for algae and I don’t know the capacity that peroxide has on worms and other parasites. That’s why i will also use a revive or coral rx. Never lost a zoa doing this.
 
Peroxide is great but coralrx is probably the safest bet. Some corals don’t handle peroxide well
 
I use SeaChem reef dip. It has some Iodine in it and then a peroxide dip of 80% tank water and 20% peroxide. Then fresh tank water dip and in the tank they go.
 
When I go to my lfs later this week I’ll look at what they have.
Also please leave recommendations of what to get for coral dips.
 
What I use is potassium chloride, and for I think 12 ounces of water I do 1/3 of a teaspoon for 45 minutes. I am unsure of how effective this is but I have never gotten aiptasia or hitchiking creatures, but I have gotten vermetid snails before. It has to be food grade and have no additives to it, otherwise problems can arise

Been using CoralRX for a couple of decades, Safe and effective
 
I use CoralRx and Reef Primer. I like the Reef Primer better
 
2 Little Fishies REVIVE.
It's all I use, and occasionally Peroxide (the regular 3% version from any store)
