ok to dip PPE/RPE in FW?

[impur]

I know these are technically palys, so is it still ok to do the normal zoo dip with them?

Yep it is fine. I just did this with my RPE's a week or 2 ago when I got them. I have also done this with other palys. Do the same thing as you do with zoas, no harm done from my experience.

Great, thanks for the info!

for me, just dipping them for a 30 secs to 1 min and swooshing them vigorously works fine... for my zoas, I normally leave them in the dip for 3-5 mins... then swoosh!

never lost any yet.. sometimes, it just takes them as long as a week to strat opening..

Well i gave them a 5 min dip, did some swooshing and dunking and got them in the tank. They stayed closed all day yesterday, but this morning some of the RPE are open even with the lights off. My lone PPE polyp is just barely open.
