Shore Aquatic Coral Rx Coral Dip, 237 ml – Helps Remove Flatworms and Nudibranchs

Shore Aquatic Blue Ocean Corals Coral Rx is a coral dip designed to help remove coral pests and reduce the chance of introducing parasites, with an 8-ounce bottle that makes twelve gallons of treatment.

• One 8-ounce bottle yields twelve gallons when mixed — enough treatment for multiple coral dips.
• Natural-ingredient blend — made for use with live corals.
• No iodine or oxidizers — avoids iodine staining and oxidizer by-products that can be toxic and continue reacting with surrounding tissue.
• Use before adding live coral to an aquarium — helps decrease the probability of introducing a parasite.
• Suitable for prophylactic use or infected colonies — supports coral care at more than one stage.

Adding live coral can also introduce pests to an aquarium ecosystem. Coral Rx is made for dipping new coral before it goes into the aquarium, as well as treating infected colonies. Its role is preventive as well as treatment-focused: a dip decreases the probability of bringing a parasite into the aquarium, whether or not you quarantine coral first.

What pests is Coral Rx designed to help remove?

Coral Rx helps remove many difficult-to-manage coral pests, including flatworms and coral- or polyp-eating nudibranchs. It is formulated to act against parasites while being easy on corals, making it suitable for a preventive dip as well as for treatment of infected colonies. The product is intended for live coral, not as a general aquarium treatment.

• Targets flatworms.
• Targets coral- and polyp-eating nudibranchs.
• Can be used before new coral enters an aquarium or on infected colonies.

Which types of live coral can be treated?

Coral Rx can be used with soft corals, LPS corals and SPS corals. This range makes it useful for aquarists caring for different live-coral types. The dip is intended for coral treatment and prevention; it is not described as a treatment for fish or the aquarium water itself.

• Soft corals.
• LPS corals.
• SPS corals.

What is in the formula, and how much does the bottle make?

The proprietary blend uses natural ingredients and contains neither iodine nor oxidizers. Iodine is known to stain corals, while oxidizer by-products can be toxic and may continue reacting with surrounding tissue. When mixed, the 8-ounce bottle produces twelve gallons of treatment. The package weighs 1.0 pound (0.45 kg).

• No iodine in the formula.
• No oxidizers in the formula.
• Twelve-gallon yield from one bottle.

Coral Rx is suited to aquarists who want to dip new live coral before aquarium introduction or treat an infected colony, including soft, LPS and SPS corals. Its natural-ingredient formula, pest-targeting purpose and stated treatment yield make it a coral dip for preventive and treatment use.
