I have used the peroxide based. Seems to work well and the coral seems unaffected.

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.

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

2 Little Fishies REVIVE.
It's all I use, and occasionally Peroxide (the regular 3% version from any store)
