RTN?

[Tubbsiewubbsie]

Does this look like RTN on these new frags? It only seems to be occuring on the less developed (non light facing) side.

I should have added this ocurred in less than 24 hours after adding to the tank.

Does look like RTN. Did you dip your corals?

 

[Tubbsiewubbsie]

Yep I dipped them.

Unfortunately there's little you can do. If it was a colony, I'd tell you to frag off the dieing tissue and discard it.

Frags, different story. You could try to cover up the leading edge with super glue or reef safe epoxy to stop the advance. No guarantee.

Thanks for the advice.

You could try a metro dip. Metronidazole as most reefers have that on hand. 5min dip in full SG (1.026). It's hit or miss.

If that doesn't work, you could try a iodine dip. Lugols solution the same way. Once again, hit or miss.

Isolating infected corals from other corals is advisable. I understand that's not always possible.

Best of luck to you.

Sometimes they just don’t like the change in tanks. And maybe it was not yours but the result of numerous tank changes on the way to you or even shipping. We have all bought a frag and watched it go white within 24 hours without direct knowledge of why?

I had some temp issues in my new frag tank. It got up to around 81. Since I moved the frags to my other tank the flesh seems to have have ceased resession.
