I’m so stupid. I was about 2 weeks out from finishing my 76 day quarantine of my goniopora frag. The bare bottom tank was collecting a lot of detritus so I started vacuuming the debris, but I accidentally vacuumed a couple tentacles of goniopora. Was fine for a couple days, but now I’m seeing RTN on the frag. I did a peroxide dip and the coral improved a bit, but RTN kept going. So I just did an iodine dip today for 20 mins and moved it away from its old spot higher on the rocks. Besides fragging, is there anyway to stop this madness??? Thanks!

One of my Gonis got stung by a torch and started dying my best advice is move it to low flow, med/low light for it to fight it off. A melafix or any other natural dip would help as well
