Advice for a Possible Craigslist Coral Purchase?

[brittant]

I've never raised corals before, so I want to start out with Zoas and Mushrooms. I have been following this guy's posts on Craigslist for over two months now, and his set ups are beautiful (and those Zoa rocks are really killing me!). If I were to place one of the rocks in a bucket with coral bath, would that be sufficient to keep my tank safe from invaders? Also, do you have any other advice/questions to ask him when I email? Thanks!

Looks like some good stuff. When i get new corals i just place them in a tubaware container and then dip them in coralRX for 20 minutes then carefully inspect for any invaders. Then i shake them clean water and then place in the tank after giving them one last check.

Thanks! I'll go ahead and email then - hoping he still has some of the seafoam green 'shrooms!

Doing a coral dip on any new coral purchases is one of the best habits you can get into. :) Good luck with your purchase!
