My Tank Thread
My Aquarium Showcase
I do not see any signs of a bacterial infection but rather recession. In part can be a result of bleaching from excess lighting but im very sure its based on insufficient calcium, damage from either fish or stinging and i hate say water - Either elevated Phosphate, temperature or drop in salinity. Assure refractometer is calibrated.So the “lesions” have certainly worsened. ICP test results have not come back but my other inhabitants are happy and healthy so I’m not convinced it’s a water quality issue. I’ve kept and eye out for Sponges in and around the infected area over the past few days but have not seen any. This is pushing me to suspect a bacterial infection as ISpeakForTheSeas mentioned. Do you guys agree? How would I go about treating a bacterial infection like this? Peroxide dip perhaps?
Thanks for the help!

I dont believe I mentioned but this coral responds to Lugols iodine dip and would be worth a try. Should there be infection, iodine will address it also.
