Hi all
I know there'r few threads discussed about this issue but couldn't find one somehow. I can see the tissue is coming off everyday, in a rate of few mil per day. Please tell me what caused and how to save this frag.
Thank you in advance

Can you post your tank parameters? That coral is experiencing tissue necrosis. You may want to frag the unaffected areas. No way to even guess what is causing it unless you show your parameters or can think of any changes you made to the tank since you noticed this?????

Thank you guys for your responds
The tests I did yesterday were:
phosphate = 0.03 (salifert)
dkh = 8
cal = 380
Nitrate = 10
Amonia = 0
salinity = 1.026
The tank run at 82-84F
This frag's been being in the tank only few weeks and it started loosing flesh for last couple days. All other sps look ok. This morning I used flash light to see if there was any flat worm, couldn't see any and realized that its tissue was loosing at a faster rate than I thought, 1/3 " within 12 hrs.
I thought of fragging it up but couldn't get any frag larger than 1/2 " . I want try to have it dipped as nashorn recommended. What is best dip solution you'r using?
