my petco and petsmart dont sell Lugol's Solution is their anywhere else i can buy it? Can i use iodine from the drug store because i think i have a serious pest.
Im not sure either so i did a 15 second freshwater dip and got some of the worms to come out and die. Im not sure what they are but i saw a really big one that has a hole drilled into the side of the rock that i need to get out next.
Ok thanks i will try that. I found living in my corals rock an aiptasia anemone, Some mantis shrimp, some sort of worms still trying to figure out what they are. Good lesson on why not to buy coral from petco....
The CVS iodine is mush stronger than the lugols. I would not recommend that dosage. Lugols won't kill everything though. I would suggest "Coral RX" as an all around, good coral dip.
Most stores do not dip their corals and most stores order corals that come straight from the ocean.
