Tom
I read your interesting article on flatworms in the September issue of Reefkeeping magazine. Why would you have to quarantine corals for 4 weeks when you can dip them to eradicate any pests. I use Seachem coral disinfectant (basically iodine). Would this not be sufficient and if not is there another regimen that one could use to dip newly acquired corals?
Thanks
