How many people lost corals etc.

Ming I think he meant he put them in sunday night went to work or whatever and came home monday night to find them bleached and posted it late being tuesday due to it being after midnight

haha, you're good! Yeah, that's what I meant.. But I learn my lesson, setup a temp tank and house them first and then wait a couple of days and then dip and transfer to main tank! Always learning from my mistake. That's good and bad for my coral and $$$.... =) =(

So your guys didn't dip your coral this time and put straight to your tank?

After the dip, i saw a couple of those floating red/orange flatworm(Planaria)...

I dip, but I usually dip only a short period and see if anything is there/moving. A quick swoosh at the end of the dip and If I am suspicious for any reason I will dip longer.

depends on the type of corals, some are really hard to see all the nooks and crannies where the hitchhikers can hide.

When I got home, I put about a gallon or two of saltwater from my DT into a spare 5g, along with a heater and an airline. I immediately unpacked everything into this holding tank. I then had dinner, relaxed for a while, and then ran nearly everything through Revive dips and then into the tank. (My elegance coral, a torch coral, and a lobo got a thorough inspection, a quick swish in the dip, and then into the tank. These were easily inspected for problem critters, have a low probability of harboring them, and have no real nooks-n-crannies to hide in. And I was generally nervous about dipping them.)

All my zoas/palys, montis, and other stuff got full length dips -- I live in fear of * eating Nudis.
