My yellow/gold branching hammer started showing Skeleton and receding the past few days. I just began dosage of 3.3ml of cipro to display tank last night. I mixed 500mg of cipro with 50ml RODI to create solution and going to dose 3.3ml (for 70gallon total water volume) every 2 days for 3 days (saw this in a thread to combat BJD). Looking for some help or advice if this could be BJD or why the coral is showing the way it is? Parameters are as follow for 7 month old tank

:
Salanity: 1.026
pH: 8.3-8.5
temp: 77degrees
Alk: 8.4
Ca: 470
PO4: .03-.1
Nitrate: 6-10
Mg: 1350
PAR: ~100
Flow: strong but powerhead is directed toward it at opposite end of tank "3 foot wide tank"
Side note: My dragon soul torch and red/blue goniopora are doing great along with my zoas, gsp, mushrooms, cabbage leather, and yellow clove polyps.

Almost all of the tissue has receeded. Please get pictures under white light, as I can't tell if there is BJD on the coral with the blue light.
As of posting this, she’s pretty much a goner. I did a kfc dip today as last resort but the coral will probably be dead before weekend is over :(

Yeah, unfortunately that's what I think too. Sorry.
