One of my folded brain corals has a type of "sore". It has been getting progressively worse for maybe 2 months. I dipped it today in Coral Revive and will see what happens.
Any other advice?
My other corals including another folder folded brain, mostly LPS (hammers, frog spawn, cans, zoos, scoly, etc..) look really good.
