Dipping Corals

[mr_alberta]

Hi,

How did you manage to do a FW dip on a Montipora? I tried it before and the montiopora never survives its encounter with the freshwater. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

The problem is the eggs, which none of the current dips/methods kill. They can be in any nook or cranny waiting to hatch. A few months back I received a really nice monti with nudi's, I resorted to fw dips and daily inspections, picking off what I could see. I thought I had them beat a couple of times but after 2 months I gave up. I read that Eric Bournman is releasing a new nudi treatment in "Advanced Reefkeeping" sometime in the fall.
