Yes, I use it after fragging and on new corals: it helps stop infection, as well as killing nasties that may be hitch hiking on new corals. I also use TLF Coral Revive. Both are good products

tanks looking great Lance.....and great set of instructional type shots.....for a second there i thought I was in Kiens thread

and ya Brad LPS are very delicate (as you probably know) and sometimes no matter how careful you are handling or transporting them, they get damaged.....which like most injuries, opens them up to infection......dipping when you frag or remove or transport them is a good precautionary measure...

A few random pics.

Just how large can a BTA get? This thing has grown to 18" across and I only feed it once in a while. Damn thing is starting to get too big.

As is this guy (9" across) Scoly, Acanthophylia or Cynarina? Anybody know for sure?

Advertised as a Yellow Bird's Nest with purple polyps. I've got it 12" under a 250W 14K and the polyps nearest the light are turning a light green. Huh!

Considering a small scoly is like $300 bones...you have a nice retirement package sitting in yours !

It was just labelled "Brain Coral" when I bought it. I paid something like $40. It was as big around as a golf ball then. I think it's an Acanthophylia.
