If you have the space and resources I would. Dipping doesn't always kill everything i.e. eggs.

The safest surest way is to QT everything.
Whit the amount of money this hobby costs, the small investment into a QT tank for corals, or fish will likely end up saving you money in the long run.

Id say if you can do a QT coral tank, then do it. Dipping doesnt kill everything. So I second that.
Especially if you have spent a small fortune on corals. |

Completely agree all above, corral RX is very good also revive.THESE DO NOT KILL EVERYTHING. IMO always quarantine, not is the fastest way to disaster a bit a time spent quarantining will always save you money in the long run. however here in Denver we know are LFS very well they qurantine for 4 months before displaying or selling. If they have a coral for months in there DT tank and still seems healthy I sometimes do buy and put in are tank not quarantining however I always dip. and do a little grooming with a magnifying glass... removing all hitchhikers. but quarantine quarantine quarantine..............
