Yuma dipping

[mpoletti]

How do you guys dip your yumas? I found a nice 2" watermelon yuma today, but I am not sure about adding it to my main display because of pests. I have used lugols in the past as well as seachem coral disinfectant.

Thank You in advance.

Seachem is what i use on polyps. But i have a horrible problem with yuma dying on me shortly after introduction. I have 2 and they are both captive (maybe aquacultured) for some time before i got them and they were dipped and do awesome. I cant say really what the dying is about but i suspect wild yuma being shipped has alot to do with it. Sounds like you got yours local so i think you will be fine. Use the Seachem, i dip all rics(FL,Yuma) zoos and palys in it and a few drops of FWE for about ten mins and i have great success with everything except shipped wild yuma.
