Hello everyone, recently a friend of mine dropped off this green montipora after it hasn't been doing so well in his tank. It appears to have STNed down to just the polyps with no visible fluorescent green tissue. I am wondering it it is possible that it could make a recovery, because I have only ever dealt with Acropora making a comeback. Currently dosing about 5mls of Acropower every week which appears to be helping. Its in about 200 PAR and water chemistry is: Alk 8.5 Cal 450 and Mag 1440. Any suggestions are helpful.

Ive had great results using lugols when my montis show signs of a bacteria issue or look stressed. 10 drops to 8 cups tank water for 15 minutes.

Not sure how that would help, the coral has STNed and there are just polyps left.
