I think the answer will depend on what you're trying to accomplish. What's the issue at hand requiring antibiotics? Also make sure to wear protection and account for displacement when dosing.

I would try to figure if it can be anything else before using antibiotics. Antibiotics when not needed are harmful

I’d recommend exhausting all possibilities (listed below) prior to a course of antibiotics. If there are parameter issues, antibiotics may not help, and could cause further issues.

Things to check:

alk ca mg, salinity/sg, temp, po4, no3. Check to make sure test kits and equipment are calibrated

Is there any algaes/cyano/dinos growing in the tank?

Is there any warfare going on between corals? (Torches touching other torches, or other corals)

Are there any soft corals that could be releasing toxins?

Is your RO/DI top off and pre-mixed water 0 TDS?

Any fish, peppermint shrimps, pests, etc munching the base of the torch membranes?

This might not be the cure that you are looking for. Most LPS die from things that already exist in the tank/coral and not some mysterious disease. You can weaken other things by dosing antibiotics. The unintended consequences from this could be large.

Good luck if you choose to pursue, but if not then let us know more info about the setup, parameters and all of that. The biggest thing that I have ever had affect euhpyllia is low salinity so double and triple check your refractometer calibration and make sure that you are at 1.026... and then check it again.
