Chalice melting???

[txmaverickmh]

Fellow Reefers,

I woke up this morning and one of my chalices that has been very healthy looked like it was melting this morning, all gooey, other chalices are perfectly fine, thoughts?

likely bacterial infection/RTN. dip in iodine if able, or frag off the dying parts and place in low light to help recover. maintain water parameters stable, and watch for any pests at night/crabs irritating it(i had a big electric blue hermit crab walk over corals and inadvertently caused them to STN/RTN due to the cuts it caused while walking over things)
