I glued this down 4 days ago. The glue was only on the bottom. It’s turning white way above where the glue touched, and seems to be creeping up higher every day. Will it stop? Did I **** up?

Is the flesh actually coming off on the part that's turning white? If so, sounds like it could be STN / RTN which would mean cutting off the affected piece. But you don't want to do that until you're sure.

I don’t see any flesh coming off. It looks to me like the flesh is just turning from green to white.
 
What are your water parameters??
I would keep a close eye on it over the next day or two, if it were me and it continued spreading, I would probably cut off right above the white and try to save what's remaining.

He was perfectly fine until I glued 4 days ago lol. He’s been a VERY slow grower over last 6 months since I’ve had him but I think that’s because calcium was 340-360 for a while. Other than slow growth, he’s been fine.

Where was he before you glued him down?? And how did you remove him? Did you do an iodine dip?
 
He was always sitting on rocks flat. I would move him frequently enough so he wouldn’t attach himself since I haven’t decided where I want his permanent home to be. He would every so often start to cement himself down and I’d just apply a little pressure to pull him off relatively easily. No I did not iodine dip.

Okay, I thought maybe you cut him off of something.

A dip couldn't hurt at this point, but it really looks and sounds like RTN to me.
