You should dip the coral separately for a few minutes shaking them while they are in the solution to knock the parasites off, then rinse them in another bucket of tank water to get as much medication off the coral as possible and then back into the tank. At least that is how I do it with Coral R/X

I did 10 min dips then put them in a bucket with tank water and blasted them with a MJ400 to knock anything off. But IF I go back to corals I will do a full QT on them, as the AEFW was a nightmare

That sucks man, the tank is so nice. Hopefully it's an easy fix!
