It looks like you need to dip that coral. I see a lot of dead tissue and what looks like bacterial issues.

I would always double check tests against another test kit.

If all other corals are looking good then you might suspect warfare from a neighboring coral.

Dip it and frag when in doubt if the coral exhibits that much RTN.

Dip for bugs or with Iodine?
 
Iodine or CoralRX, what I see is not indicitive of pest but rather warfare or bacterial. Iodine or CoralRX should treat both.
 
Ok. Thanks guys. The fun part is they have been in there for 3 years now and are mounted to the side of the tank. Lol
