I agree that using Povidone would require a lot of care. I went with a commercial product (a SeaChem dip) for dipping new corals. Some people do use Lugol's solution as a dip, and there are instructions for its use in various places. I'd try one or the other, but someone might have experimented and found a safe protocol for using povidone.
