    I am ordering a clean up crew and was curious, does anyone do a pazi pro dip for this?
    Or what other way would be a good way to make sure they aren't carrying any parasites when I put them in the main tank?

    Not a good idea to dip inverts. They're extremely sensitive to changes in water chemistry as well as most dips/meds. FWIW, I've never heard of a single case yet where an invert introduced any type of disease or parasite.

    ^^^agree with Mr. Bill - I would think a dip would be damaging to them.
