Dipping new SPS: who is doing what
 
Please post your dip routine to rid new corals of bugs, nudibranchs and other pests.

20 minutes of Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure, then inspect after shaking it in the solution to see if any flatworms or bugs fall off. Then shake and turkey baste in a container of tank water.

If it's a smooth skin sps, then I inspect to spot red bugs, but red bugs don't scare me as much as Acropora eating flatworms cause red bugs is very treatable.

Same as Dez in this case. I also double my concentration from the bottle's instructions.

Revive for 30 minutes, then shake the hell out of it so all the little critters fall off

Acro crabs
 
Make sure you remove the acro crabs before dipping.

I use CoralRX and dip it for about 10 mins. Kills everything except the coral.

Treated with interceptor while still in the bag floating in the sump for approx 3h (or whenever I eventually remember about them).
