Easy? assume product comes with good instructions?

Yes. Just take some water from the tank in a container, add the appropriate amount of Reef Dip (I actually used about 2.5 times the recommended amount which won't hurt the corals for the short exposure) and drop them in there for 10 minutes or so. Shake them off and put back in tank.

There's some pretty big threads out on RC about using vitamin C to help zoas do well. some people there mentioned that this cleared up all fungus issues as well. Maybe check some of that out.

Hope they live for you.

So today i did my first ever coral dip. a friend of mine gave me some seachem Reef Dip. i used a cap to about a gallon. soaked for 15 Minutes. the fungus may be too much but who knows. saving these beauties is all i can think about. ill be on a quest if i lose them. crossing fingers and hoping it pans out.

Man I hope these pull through for you, they're so nice. Shaun lost his, turns out he had a 3 foot long elucid worm in his tank. He said the bastard actually grabbed the rock they were on and dragged it back to it's burrow.
