Try the dip and keep it where you have it, but unfortunately it looks like it's going to the zoa graveyard. Sucks

Before considering any dips or any remedies has anything changed in regards to your tank parameters? some inhabitants bothering nipping at it cause that polyp looks stressed

Nothing nipping at it. Everything else is fine in tank. I was out of town for five days and came back to this. I'm guessing a I had a little ph swing from my results. And my alk was low. I'm slowly bringing everything back to normal. Thanks for help. Gona wait and see if it starts to look happier, before I dip.

Try dipping for 5 min on a cup of tank water with a few ice cubes. The colder temp. makes them bring their insides back in most of the times. I wouldn't dip on anything.

I mirror what Josh said, I personally wouldn't dip especially when the polyp looks stressed as is. you might just push it over the cliff. I say get your water paramters right.

Z's and P's are very sensitive to ph and Alk issues.

I'm working on slowly bringing my alk back up. Being gone for 5 days didn't help. I learned a lesson here thanks everyone.
