Is this an effective way to get rid of pests? How long does the coral need to be in the freshwater?
Freshwater Dip?

The few times I've done it, I've kept the coral in there for about 3-5mins.

I think that is a better idea than the freshwater dip
I dip all my new corals in TM Pro Coral Cure to help prevent an infestation of flatworms before introducing them into my tank. Understandably I get a bit paranoid about introducing things like flatworms into my display tanks.
Also if you see any brown jelly ie. necrotic tissue, you can use airline tubing to siphon off the dead/necrotic tissue and give the coral a bath with an Iodine solution like TM Pro Coral Cure or similar product. The iodine will act as an antiseptic and hopefully kill prevent the spread of the tissue necrosis.
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure…
