Auto-pilot, where i can get the antibiotics.... ?
https://www.biobasic.com/chloramphenicol-4152 heres a link to buy chloramphenicol. Its potent so if you leave a coral in it overnight because you forgot it there, the coral will be dead (learned from experiance) BUT ive use this MANY times to stop tissue necrosis on LPS and SPS corals. Good luck

Thanks Auto-pilot i will try it
Due to how the coral looks i might try erythromycin from petco or something. If you order it it will take at least a week to get to your house and the lobo is just going to continue to dieing. Its cheap and good to have on hand for the future though. If something is dying and i don't know why chloramphenicol usually works for me

Just a last question, how you use the antibiotic..?? You dip the coral for some time, or you put it on in a quarantine aquarium...?

I usually dip them once a night for a week. I use tank water and a Tupperware ill put like 1/16th of a TSP in the tuperware and swirl it around allowing some of the antibiotic to kinda fall on the coral as it doesn't 100% disolve. Ill let it sit for 2 hrs and then put it back in the tank
