questions about pests/dipping/quarantining
On my extended drive home today I stopped by one of the lfs's and bought a few bargain priced lps and zoo's.
got home.. acclimated a bit, took the first one out of the bag and as i was putting it into the water saw lots of pests in the bag, put it back in the bag right away and they are all floating in the bags still. there were some better hitchhikers<snails and a hermit> but lots of yellowish flatworm looking things.
Stores are closed now, and i don't have anything to dip corals in yet.
I pulled the bags out of the dt and put them in my spare project tank, 12g cube with some lr and nothing else in it.
questions are:
should the corals be ok in the bag.. or even in the bag with the bag open but clipped to the tank wall till i get off work tomorrow?
or just drop them in the tank and treat that whole qt tank if necessary?
iodine dip good enough or do one of the other products work better?
