The iodine is held in a protective slime-coat complex that clings to the coral, keeping it in contact with the affected site longer and helping prevent re-infection. Use it as a preventive quarantine dip for new arrivals or to treat ailing colonies, on both stony and soft corals as well as anemones and polyps.

Place the coral in the dip for 15 to 30 minutes depending on severity, agitating gently, then rinse and return it to the tank. Do not pour the dip solution into your aquarium; discard it after use. Remove any crabs or shrimp from the coral before dipping, and watch for excessive sliming during treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin: 16px 0 4px; font-size: 1.05em; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.25;
