I had to frag everything and dipped them in coral revive. After a week they are showing no signs of bleaching . So I think I'm in the clear. I tried everything and my efforts were useless. Once corals start to RTN from the base you gotta cut em a half inch above the dead tissue and reglue after a dip in revive .

I have had this happen in the past and is always associated with the use of Rox carbon. I stopped using rox and the problem subsided. every time I try the Rox again have reoccurrence have since stopped using Rox!!!!
