Should i frag this coral before i dip it?

[Klyle]

I’ve been watching this alveopora go downhill for a few months now. Figured its time to try to save it…Im planning on doing an iodine dip today. Should i just do the dip or frag it, removing dead parts? I also have Coralrx if people think thats a better option.

While you can, attempt a few GENTLE bursts with a turkey baster and see if substance dislodges

Sorry man, i know I’m a thorn in your side…but are you recommending just dipping and seeing what comes out with a baster and only fragging a last resort?

Try baster first to see if this stuff dislodges before attempting dip

I don’t think its gonna dislodge. It now has coralline growing on the exposed skeleton. Ha
