Ok so yesterday I picked up a frag of gorilla nipples and a frag of radioactive dragon eyes...I dipped both using coral rx and put them into the tank. I need to replace one plug and need to glue one into a small rock. Since I will have them out Can I dip them again today or should I wait a few days or do I need to dip again at all? I don't want to keep messing with them.

I wouldn't do another dip. They need time to recover. Are you dipping for something in particular you see?

No the first time I dipped I got a bunch of tiny wiggling things off of it. Just trying to be more safe than sorry. I have to change the plugs and was gonna dip again in case anything may have snuck through

If anything I would do an iodine dip. Coral Rx and be a little tough and zoas are know to get bacterial infections or other issues, a little iodine wouldn't hurt and would help them heal in my opinion.

I've always just used plain RODI water and have had good results.

I think I'll just glue them to small pieces of live rock so I can move them to get them to their happy place and hope for no nudes or spiders.

These are my very first corals so I'm a little nervous about doing something wrong and killing them. They are awesome looking and hope they thrive and spread quickly
