Dipping a Scolmia and Lordhowsis?


So I am getting a Lordhowsis and a Scolmia this week and I always dip my corals before I put them in my tank with Logul's I always research before I do this as well don't want to dip something and kill it. I have tried to find some info on the dipping found a little on the Lord saying yes can do it but I didn't find any on the scolmia. I just want to double check to make sure on the lord also anyone ever dipped them without trouble

I dip all my new corals in an iodine bath like pro coral cure before introducing them into my tank. I get a bit paranoid about introducing things like flatworms into my display tanks. I also believe that dipping a new coral in an iodine solution helps it recover from the stress of transport and reduces the chance of microbial/bacterial infection on the new coral.
