    I was wondering what iodine treats and doesnt treat. There seems to be no list that goes by treatment that i can find from my phone, only ones that go by pest.

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Just a generalization: Bacteria, fungus and protozoans (per Seachem). So it is probably beneficial for BJD, typical fungal infections you see on zoanthids.

    It is not effective for Red bugs, AEFW, MEN or other nudibranchs. Nor for Sundial snail, Sea spiders, pyramids.

    I would like to see more information on Hydrogen peroxide as a dip.

    While it will kill the worms it will not treat eggs for nudibranchs or flatworms, or sun dials.
