Oh, and buying 30 gives you a 30% discount at J&L
They are scavengers and will eat pods, leftover food scraps, aptasia, etc. They are also nocternal so you will usually only see them after lights out. They are very easy to catch by using a baited bottle trap & you could likely trade them in at your local fish store for credit on other stuff you need.

What about Coral RX PRO Coral Dip would these be any better to dip your corals in or is it basically the same product?

I think any dip will kill them. Just watch to make sure they dont keep moving.

I found Coral RX to be harsh, say goodbye to your Echinatas. I did a test on a piece of Hawkins to see what would happen, not good.

With bayer, half an hour after returning the Acros to my tank I had polyp extension.

Agreed on the coral Rx. I lost my deep waters after three weeks of dipping.

You have to get Bayer in the states. Any of the home supply outlets will have it.

I didn't realize it wasn't available in Canada... Out of convenience, since I was already there, I picked mine up in Lowes in Bellingham Wa.

So you just ask for Bayer? Might have to grab some when I go south just in case.
