A month ago Frag had these was dipped but had an egg more than likely because they where found again couple weeks ago. Did some more dips and thought I finally killed them. Well I guess I was wrong.
This baby looked amazing last week. Yesterday I noticed the polyps where not out. I admit I was busy and didn't think twice to look. Then at lunch today I had a dread feeling and ran down to frag tank to see how it looked.
Completely destroyed.
Now I will try to bring this back from death.
Pictures are of the biggest. Many smaller ones on the back side. In all there where around a dozen.

To bring this back to life step 1 for me is to get serious on routine dipping.
For fun we can vote!

If you take the time and stay on top of it, there's no reason you can't revive this coral. Good luck!
 
I had these come in on another frag (even after dipping) and I was lucky enough to defeat them, but the frag was destroyed after a very long dip and I wasn't sure if it would survive? Fast forward two and half years later and I'm constantly fragging the beast. In fact, I just dropped off a bag full of frags to my favorite lfs today. Give it some time and keep everything stable. Best of luck!

Here's a pic of the frag after it started to recover. I can't seem to find the pic that shows it almost completely white with a lot of missing tissue, but you get the point, it wants to survive, just give everything it needs, time.
