iodide vs iodine

[floatingfish]

my real question is, is iodine different from iodide? if so what is iodide used for? i have corals that require iodine but currently i have a bottle Seacham's Reef Iodide. can i use that to supplement for my corals. i have one xenia frag and a toadstool. Thanks for any info.

well i did some looking and finally found a web site that states that iodide will break down into beneficial iodine. also that iodide in the most dioavailable form of iodine. so i guess i now know the answer.
