Does your quarantine procedures include dipping corals before shipment?

Hello rc4kinu,
Thank you for your interest in our Website! I will be more than happy to answer your question and help you out in any way possible.
Coral arrives at our facility on a daily basis. Once the coral is acclimated to our system, they are then treated with Iodine.
Once the coral has been processed and put on the website, it is then checked daily for parasites or any other issues.
We do not dip before shipment due to additional stress being put on the animal through the shipping process.
If a coral is not looking good before shipout, we will simply do not ship the animal and treat it accordingly.
Take care and thank you again!
