Did you buy corals from Coral Show today? Dip!!!!

Sometimes they’re hard to see. Usually a FW dip will kill them. CoralRX and other stuff seems to stun them to let go.
The ones were in the the mouth of the coral and came out when I used a turkey baster to swirl water around. It was flapping in the water. Wish I took a video of that one.
Some other folks said it could’ve been a polyclad flatworm.
I didn’t find any eggs so could’ve been a hitchhiker from another piece. But coral is in a softies QT tank so observing and sipping again before I bring it anywhere else.

no mater how well I know the person.
I use melafix in a black vessel. I'm not trying to kill, I want to see what comes off. I will toss a $500 frag before I take a risk.
years ago I had a very close friend, very top reefer ask me to try and color up a colony of his that wasn't doing well. It had been a long day and I was tired and almost just pop n dropped but I did my dip and found dozens of AFEWs and eggs he ended up spending months getting them out of his small tank.
I fragged it and FW dipped, managed to save some of it.

I pussed out when I bought a Vivid 4 loco a couple years back, a few other pieces but I think thats where I got AEFW in my 66g. Cut ALL my pieces from the rocks, set up a frag tank in the garage. Those dip days were stressful as hell and all I could think everytime was I could have avoided it all with 1 snip and dip when I purchased the stick. I always have to learn the hard way...
