dipping coral?

Had a close to total failure a few months ago, now have QT tank for fish. Can I coral dip some turbos and trocus snails and put in the display tank. I need to get a handle on algae before it gets out of hand

Thnaks Mike

I wouldn't 'coral dip' any inverts as it will more than likely kill them. Essentially, that is what is dip is for, to kill parasites. I have never had any issues adding snails without QT

+1 on the no dip

I have given my snails a good scrub with a toothbrush though
