Also it is super important you have a 3rd and 4th clean saltwater station. Why? Cause if even a drop of the Bayer makes it into your tank it will decimate the pod population and only God knows what else.
I noticed that when I went Bayer happy after cfm and 2012's rAP I would have 0 pods for a long while. Not the normal "oh where are the pods." They do disappear when they are making new babies. Just careful.
Dipped like 15 pieces thought I rinsed everything good enough before putting In the tank but guess I didnt rinse enough killed most if not all my pods rinse rinse and rimse again learn from my mistake lol
If it's encrusted then it's a judgement call. The main reason is eggs tend to be laid on non-living structure. So if the coral is all living tissue then the eggs will be laid on the plug. If the coral is dead towards the bottom then I chop the dead part off because that's likely where the eggs could have been laid.
Im not sure if you can get this product over in the US but Dettol is also a great coral dip (almost the exact same as Coral RX).
Dettol is an anteseptic and is a great coral dip when used with 1ml to 1 litre of salt water. Its also really cheap. I dip my corals by this method and its getting quite common on some of the UK forums.
Just thought i would share as another alternative for you guys.
