It is a coral disinfectant. It is suppose to kill pests and their eggs. ex: Flatworms, red bugs, AEFW, etc.

Dip all corals added to your tank, not matter where they came from. Do not take peoples words for it. As often as times, they just want to sell it or they dont know they had it. If you do not dip, highly recommended to have a quarantine tank and examine over a few weeks to insure pests are gone (eggs that might have survived the dip, as some dips do not kill eggs).
