   |  Just another reason to dip, lol
A buddy of mine started dipping everything he gets, and he got this lovely surprise yesterday. Luckily I have never got one of these.  _________ [center]Renaming Our Corals "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." Andre Gide |

You guys are going to have to change the way you swap corals man there seem to be more coral STD's now then I ever recall and a simple dip leads to a false sensce of secuirty I think . _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

Stores are not immune to the bugs either especially those that buy corals from hobbiests and other sources that are infested. | |

Those were purchased from a supplier, not a hobbiest. It just goes to show how much you need to dip, quarantine, dip again, quarantine, dip again etc etc before it touches your display. | |
