Seachem Reef Dip – Coral Disinfectant with Iodine & Protective Slime Coat (250ml)
Seachem Reef Dip is a specialized coral disinfectant that uses elemental iodine complexed with a protective slime coat to treat and prevent infections in corals. It is effective against bacteria, fungi, and protozoans, and can be used both prophylactically and therapeutically.
The slime coat helps retain the iodine at the site of infection for extended contact time, while also shielding the coral from reinfection. Reef Dip is safe for use on soft and stony corals, polyps, and anemones, but should not be used directly in the aquarium. Always dip corals in a separate container.
