Anyone ever use this as just a dip?

I have a couple of corals that havr some flatworms that are in a tank that I will be shutting down.
Can I just mix a 5 gallon bucket ,add Flatworm Exit,and put the corals in the mixture. I am trying to avoid bringing over flatworms to their new home.

Anybody ever done it this way?
I can also just dose the tank & then remove the corals.

Sugestions?

I have used it both ways, when I used a 5 gal. bucket I just added twice the reccomended dose and a power head. leave the rock in there for about 10-20 min. then blast it with a powerhead.then I would rinse in another 5 gal. bucket with just NSW and transfer to new tank.

I've used it as a dip, too. I did a 20 minute dip. If you're sure the corals have flatworms, you could be able to see the critters die. When I dose tanks, it seems to take two doses, a few days apart, to get rid of all the the critters. My speculation was that the treatment doesn't kill any eggs that might be present.
