We really appreciate this comment and your business!

@@rustedrootfarm I can see your point and agree what your saying.... If you're cautious about bad critters getting in your D.T. you should be getting your frags from a reputable place and quarantining your new coarls first. Wait like Vic stated to dip and you will be good. Just curious have you had anything come off your WWC corals? I had some non dangerous critters on my WWC coral all good ones. For three weeks until I removed the frag and jump off only when dipped. One of the reasons I only purchase from WWC🙌 all their stuff is clean 👌

@@rustedrootfarm He never said don’t dip and never inferred to put them straight into the display. You can put them in a qt tank and dip after 2 days without risking your corals. But he is right, dipping on day one can lead to dying corals.

@@jaredengberg9295 Exactly, the coral is already stressed. The additional stress of a dip can push some specimens over the edge and kill them. Waiting in observation a few days then dipping is a great suggestion and keeping a small tank or container going for new additions is a must. Take time to do it. With all the money you spend on livestock, certainly a few dollars on a small QT is worth having around. Respect to having more information and options. We can all learn from each other. Thanks WWC.

Do freshwater dips work ?

Sometimes it's the little things! Thanks for watching!

Yea this was a big no for me as well. I would never drop an undipped coral into my main display without dipping first. I'm not going to give any potential pests 24 hours to migrate from the frag and into the rest of the tank. This method should be reserved for QT tanks only. I'd rather lose a stressed coral than deal with unwanted pests.

This video mainly goes towards our corals that are being shipped to your door. If you’re getting corals locally(couple minutes away) you could definitely do a dip. And yes we agree, quarantine is the BEST option for both fish and corals!

Great to hear!

It can also be a waste for fish if you get them from a LFS and the salinity is similar. A quick float is often all that’s needed to align temp.

👌👌👌Sometimes keeping it fast and simple goes a long way. Number 1 killer for fish and corals is STRESS! Thank you for watching!

Glad it helped! Thanks for watching!

We appreciate that!! Thank you so much for watching!

We strive for quality here at WWC! Thanks so much! We appreciate the support!

Thanks so much for watching!

Sadly I lost the duncan and a cyphastrea I bought, but the Xenia, chalices, Kenya tree and GSP are thriving! Likely will place another order soon

Thank you for watching the video!

The best thing you could do is have a quarantine tank for your corals. Other than that, the goal is to provide the least amount of stress on the coral :) thank you for watching!

Awesome! If you like mystery boxes, check out our beginner packs.

@WorldWideCorals I will, I think today I'm gonna receive another box from you guys with 5 frags, all begginers of course lol Stylophora Cactus pavona Hot rim pink montipora Green eggs and ham montipora Rainbow montipora

Yes we would recommend keeping the corals on the plugs.

Most of the time any pest would stay on the coral for a few days, so it would be safe to dip a day or two afterwards. And that’s where the very close observation and turkey basting comes in. BUT, the BEST solution is to have a quarantine tank. We quarantine all of our frags before it enters a display tank, this is a must especially if you have a lot of money and livestock invested :)

@@WorldWideCorals i aint got the patience for a coral qt tank although most of my corals come from locals tanks that ive gotten things out of before so alot of the time i either already have their peats like vermitids or aiptasia sometimes but i know to jus inspect and remove any i see on those buy i will say when i order corals offline i acclimate them then do a quick 10min bayer dip and then rinse off woth tank wayer and then throw them in tbe tank and i havemt really had any problems only coeals that have given me trouble were ones that arrived in the rough shape they were and i dipped em and they still have came back one is almost fully healed in a coiple wks the othernis a bubble coral so its gonna take awhile to grow back but it looked like ot was gonna die before i dipped it or put it in the tank but some how it made it ive never really had dipping them cause issues besides some pests make it threw dips like vermitids and aiptasia do occasionally but so far in my newer tank ive aboided aiptasia the vermitids i have are small ones and there was jus no keeping them out of my sustem bc they were on the corals and rocks with coeals on them that i moved from my old tank bc im thinking about breaking it down but i cut off all the ones i could see but theres larvae that are jus within the rock and coral skeletons themselves so i jus try to manage them but i dont think its realistic thag ur gonna keep pests out of ur sustem long term even if u do a qt tank unless ur like scientific lab controlled environment crazy aboit qt’ing certain things will male it through but at least those usually arent things that can decimate ur coral like planaria/aefw red bugs montipora eating nudis euphyllia eating flatworms etc wtc if ur dilligent about dipping and inspecting the corals before u pit tjem in the tank try to get them off the plug theh cane on and even scrub the skeletal surfaces that dont have live tissue on them to dislodge anything hangin on to the coral skeleton itself them ur usually alright without a qt but it is still a risk to not qt ur corals i think that may be what i do with my nano make use of it instead of adding the corals to my bigger tank that has almost all of my coral alot of which i could mever afford to replace like itd be pretty damn hard to replace a 30+ polyp colony of splatter hammer so this does make me consider doing coral qt, sorry this is so long but question at the end how long do u need to quarantine a coral?? And do u gotta reset the clock every time u add another coral to the qt? Jus would make it to where id feel like i need to buy in bunches insteadmof one or two hete n there that woild jus be building a new tank essentially bc id be constantly restarting the clock so to speak

@@born2beashooterjosh397 generally you want to quarantine for a few weeks, if you have an average “at home” aquarium, you can observe it to see if there’s anything wrong with the coral. And correct, you’d want to quarantine by sets. So don’t add another coral in the middle of a quarantine. Especially if it’s the same TYPE of coral. You can purchase more corals at once, set up multiple tanks, or just be patient between each quarantine process :)

@@WorldWideCorals alright kinda what i fogured but always good to confirm from sources who know as much as u do thanks!!

Instant Ocean Holdfast

Check out BRS. They are doing a huge light comparison this week

Thank you for watching and we appreciate the suggestion!!

You'll probably be OK doing that with Zoas the majority of the time unless they have been particularly stressed in transit. Acros etc definately have an increased chance of kicking the bucket with a dip after shipping, all depending on how stressed it is. Also worth remembering that dipping only helps kill some pests, some of the time.

As long as it’s been working for you 👍 :) general idea of the video is to reduce stress on the coral as much as possible. Thank you for watching!!

Yes just Tank water! :)

If you purchase corals from our site, follow our acclimation guide(which comes inside the box) you are protected with a 10 day guarantee. So yes, we stand behind this method :) thank you for watching!

Noted!

@@WorldWideCorals I hate driving 3 hours to come down that way lol

It’s just a thick gel glue made to glue corals :) We also sell glue and epoxy on our website if you have trouble finding it. Thank you!

That’s correct, we take pride and extra care for every coral that we sell. It’s just very good practice. Quarantining and examining every livestock, even from the most trusted sellers.

We definitely recommend quarantining all of your corals! No matter where it comes from. A great tip is if you don’t know what it is, don’t add it to your tank! Any mysterious pests, snails, and even crabs. If you can’t identify it, don’t add it to your tank! :)

That’s correct! They’ll usually stay on the coral for a few days. This is where careful observation and turkey basting the coral comes in. Even better, quarantining all of your corals! We recommend to not cut off any frags from the plug when you first receive your shipment. This will reduce stress on the coral! :) thank you for watching!

@@WorldWideCorals Thank you!!!!!! Makes it easier actually - I have a fish QT but I shift the salinity around in there and I assume the nutrients are higher - still I may try it.

That’s a great tip! And correct, no need to drip acclimate corals. Thank you for watching!

This method reduces a lot of stress from the coral. This is guided towards corals that are being shipped and have been boxed for many hours. The BEST thing you could do is have a quarantine tank! Stress is the number 1 killer for corals and fish, the idea is to reduce that as much as possible.

@@WorldWideCorals yea If you want to play it that way you must have a quarantine tank for sure. Other wise I have to take my chances dipping before putting in my display.

This method is guided towards corals that has been in the box for many hours. The best thing you could do is have a quarantine tank and dip them after they settle down.

Being a little more gentle doesn’t hurt 😅
