It can't hurt – I would definitely start with a iodine dip. Good luck – I will be following along!

I like to try, and do, but this looks like those two heads are on their way out.
I iodine dipped them and was suspicious they may of got too much light where they were but they are also right next to another colony both from the same frag and the other one is doing amazing but they are both healthy now and thriving so not sure if it was bleaching or some type of bacterial infection but they are ok now

Yay for good outcomes. Nice.
