All parameters are stable. I have one acro colony that is RTNing from a shaded tip. I was thinking of dipping the coral in iodine after trimming the effected tip. Will this succeed? Any better ideas?

I ended up trimming off the afflicted area and then fragmenting the remainder of the colony into 5 pieces. The fragment that was closest to the RTN seemed to “catch” it and died, but the other four are fine. I mounted them back into the rock near where the original colony was.
