I got the iodine in the mail. Did 5 drops in 500 ml for 12 minutes. Mixing every few minutes.
I dipped 3 frags. We shall see how they look tomorrow.

So, the corals that had the algae covering...it hardened the algae and it came off with a toothbrush but now the polyp is mush. Is there a dip I can use to dip all of them in as a precaution? What do you think or bayer ? Or will that not work on bacteria?

(I'm a lady hehe)
But seriously, it's hard not to freak out lol
Oh, I'm terribly sorry! I didn't mean to...

But... that's just algae. No worries at all!
No dips there.. the max you could try is to pull them out IF they get to the point...
The algae look dead anyways...
You probably poke that polyp with the tweezers or something. Just let the rest...
Relax girl! ;)
