It does make a really good dip for coral pests. I don't have exact measurements on how much I use, but I simply add enough to give the dip water a yellow hue. Let the corals sit for about 15 minutes and watch the little critters fall off dead.

Make sure you don't have any nuisance algae in your tank...iodine and iodide will sure help nuisance algae grow as well!
