Don't Forget To Always Dip New Additions!!

[BodiBuilt]

Just a friendly reminder, especially to those of you new to the hobby... it is always a good idea to follow some sort of dipping protocol when ever you introduce any new frags to your system. Hopefully by doing so, you will prevent introducing potentially problematic species into your system.

Here is a couple pics showing just a few of the hitch-hikers that actually survived my dipping procedure...Sundial Snail (bad!), Amphipods (good), unidentified Isopod? (probably the good variety but not sure), baby Peppermint Shrimp's (good), unidentified worm (undecided), Limpet Snails (good), Stometella Snails (good), baby Starfish (Banded Serpent?) (good) unidentified crab (probably bad, maybe in the "Gorilla Crab" family?)... and a couple Zoa eating Nudibranch (very bad!)...not shown, I left those b@$t@rd$ in the dip bucket! lol... :eek1:

Yep. Don't only dip, but QT all corals as well

I'm glad no one has called PETA on you for this. You are such a cold hearted person.






I like it... :bounce1:

Thanks for the reminder.
