So I have a superman monti that has not been looking good for about a week now. I was thinking of dipping it in coral RX. All my per. are spot on as they always are. Salinity is good and temp is at 78. I changed my bulbs last month so not sure what's going on with it. Has anyone dipped this type of encrusting monti before in Coral RX? Are there any concerns that I should know about?

Up till last week this has been a great growing coral, nice color and PE. All other corals in tank are doing great but this one... I'm dumbfounded

I have dipped many different monti's in Coral RX with no issues. Timing is 5 - 10 min. I usually do about 8 min.

Ok so I gave it a dip. Seams to have not effected it at all in a bad way. Hope it will recover or looks like I will be buying another one at RAP. One of my favorite corals!
 

DO YOU THINK TECHNOLOGICAL ADVANCEMENTS ARE MORE HELPFUL OR HURTFUL TO REEFING?
