Do you treat your corals first

So I'm guessing there is no point to dipping and blasting the corals now that I've put them in the display tank. Any input?

You would need to dip all your corals, and observe them as if you were treating for an actual outbreak. Pest like red planaria will already be in your system if they were on the corals, so you'll want to treat your tank quickly if you see any of those.

Nothing like an outbreak of AEFW to make sure you dip all your corals in the future

Even then, hard to avoid. I started a whole new tank, took small frags of each piece, dipped three times and still transferred them to the new tank. Persistent little monsters.

What type of iodine do you recommend?

At this point, I'd leave it and just hope that nothing got in there. Some things are easy do deal with if they did, others, not so much.

Bayer dip for 20 minutes baste a few times really well, soak in fresh salt water for about 10 minutes then add to tank. Never had any corals suffer from it, and all open up same day or next day. Definitely continuing this method from now on.

I give everything a dip in a special blend of coralRx and revive

I bought Bayer from Amazon.ca for $17.99 with free shipping earlier this year. I just went to order another bottle, and can no longer find it listed on Amazon.ca.

a while ago bought a zoa rock from a local lfs didn't think much about it until noticing zoas were disappearing from tank zoa rock was placed in. took out and flipped one of the rocks over there were bunch of ethreal looking nudibranchs on underside. these nuds were so fairy looking i wouldn't have hesitate to keep them going if i had infinite zoas to feed them with. long story short finished off zoas and they starved into history.
