Question about zoa dip & shipping

[EDGRAY]

Hi,

OK, here is the thing all the time well most of the time when i get new zoas i do the FW with lugols iodine dip to prevent any unwanted creatures so my question is that i always get some zoas on the mail but im scared of do a dip after they being in a 2-3 day shipping ... so normally i leave them be and then 3 days later i do the dip but i think by that time some of the unwanted things might go somewere else and the dip is no use or half use if you get what im saying .... So well anyone have done the dip as soon as you get your zoas on the mail (2-3day in bag)??? or any suggestions on what to do???... currently i dont have a QT but that might be a good idea but i want to make it simple any other suggestions or experience doing the dip ASAP when zoas arrive on the mail???

The best way would be to have a qt to let the zoas get situated and then do the freshwater/lugols dip. Otherwise as you said it is pretty pointless to add the zoas and possibly let nudis spread and then taking it out and doing a dip.
