Before introducing new corals to my system I use Tropic Marin and/or Sea Chem iodine dips, they work pretty well.
As an alternative you can always try this camel shrimp cleaning tank idea. http://www.korallen-zucht.de/index.p..._id=52&clang=1

When I did our dips, I did have an odd looking snail come off of one of the corals... now that I saw Snappy's post, I have an ID which is not a very good one. I have the 90g tank in the basement and will try the shrimp idea. We did dip everything in Revive prior to putting them into the tank, so I am not entirely sure what went wrong. I will be Qting corals from her eon in... I just think I will stop buying any coral for quite some time until I get this under control.
When we pulled the corals the other evening, we did find eggs hidden in one of the bases that probably were sheltered from the dip to a certain extent, like GSP had mentioned. I am glad I was able to learn from what happened, and if it was not for this post, I would still be struggling with this.

I have pinned down whom they came from as well. I just don't know if I should make mention of it. I also need a better dip for all corals at this point, since I used Revive at the beginning, and it did not help. This is a great store but I don't want them thinking I am making accusations but do want them to know.

Yup, that is why I never said a name.
