New Zoa/Paly Procedures

[The Saltwater Kid]

When you get a new zoa or paly do you do anything different other then a soak in something like Reef Dip/Lugols etc.? Do you do a Furan 2 treatment even if they don't exhibit signs of zoa pox?

I do a freshwater dip and if anything looks shady I do a lugols dip

Current water they came in with ( BAG ), a couple cap fulls of Revive for a couple mins, swish them around, inspect the polyps for nasties, pluck of any algae ( HA or what ever ), rinse in a cup full of tank water and place them at the sand bed not directly under the lights with good/strong indirect flow to allow them to get acclimatized to the tank parameters ( light/waterparameters and flow ).
