Hello, so I'm having a disease on my Duncan, I'm not sure what to do.
I've done a bath of Two Little fishies ReVive, and a bath of Iodine Kent Marine.

They are the only lps affected, at this point I considered them gone but I just leave them for curiosity reasons.
History: I frag them from another tank, put them in this frag tank, they were fine, loved to eat, growing, and suddenly brown jelly disease appeared, started to spread to each other.

An observation: Only one of them went full skeleton gone, including tiny skin and not just polyp

Siphon it up with a 3/8" tubing and blow the rest away gently with a turkey baster but appears that the tissue is gone. Turkey baster will determine that, Bacterial is a likely issue and assure Not too much flow on this particular coral, calcium is at least 380 and salinity-nitrate-phosphate not elevated
