The change in water pressure will blow them off and also can kill them at the sametime. Maybe someone can shed more light on this way.
Iteresting thought, I can tell you they die pretty instantly when I put them into contact with tap, RO/DI probably a bit more harsh, if I were to guess. You need RO/DI to top off anyway, might be worth a shot... I have heard of RO/DI dips for corals, for a very quick, like 10 second period of time, but heard it is a last resort too, very harsh on corals. I am not really ready to go to that extreme, other issues I would like t resolove first, lol...like red turf algae...ugh..
