I would frag it and try to save the good sides, dip the rest on Revive.

i was thinking that just hate to do it and stress it out more
have tried it with acans and they all died anyway
thanks for the replys

Did it get stung by another coral? Did that happen gradually or all of a sudden? Almost to a coral the favias I have get better color and thrive placed low in my tank. Could it have been getting too much light? I do second a Revive treatment though. That works well for me. Good luck.

same thing i would do, cut losses and move on, before RTN spreads and kills the rest anyways.

His alk dropped to 2 dKH.

I am going through the same thing with some of my corals. STN due to alk dropping to 7 and ph at 8.0 temp went up to 82* Lost a lot of SPS (8-9 frags/colonies) and 1 Trachy and am now loosing a maze brain. Frag what you can, make sure you cut in to the good flesh and dip it. If you leave even a little of the STN, you will probably end up loosing the whole frag.
