Do you treat your corals first

So I'm guessing there is no point to dipping and blasting the corals now that I've put them in the display tank. Any input?

You would need to dip all your corals, and observe them as if you were treating for an actual outbreak. Pest like red planaria will already be in your system if they were on the corals, so you'll want to treat your tank quickly if you see any of those.

Nothing like an outbreak of AEFW to make sure you dip all your corals in the future

Even then, hard to avoid. I started a whole new tank, took small frags of each piece, dipped three times and still transferred them to the new tank. Persistent little monsters.

What type of iodine do you recommend?

Iodine is pretty harsh for some corals. Bayer is the most coral friendly and effective dip I've used, if you can get it. Corals will start to extend polyps almost immediately after being replaced in the tank. Even sensitive ones like A Echinata.

What product should I use to treat red plantaria in my tank? Btw thanks for the input.

[Reefer Rob]

Flatworm Exit if you can get it. I haven't used it for years, so I don't know about availability.

It's very important to do your research before using it, flatworms are extremely toxic!

At this point, I'd leave it and just hope that nothing got in there. Some things are easy do deal with if they did, others, not so much.
