Scolly coral expert help please!

Bruce,
Thank you for the suggestion of jar, never thought about doing that. I will try this tonight and mix up a food cocktail for him and see if this helps. I did target feed him and his mouth stayed open for while last night so I hope it got a full stomach. I will let everyone know if I have success bringing him back.

I first did this with Acans that were not doing well, treating them with 100 micrograms/L milbemycin (Interceptor) and feeding in a 1L beaker for an hour or so 2-3x per week. This worked pretty well. I was sick when I saw my beautiful Scoly (first picture) deteriorate down to a skeleton in just about a week (second picture). I put it in a 1L beaker with ~25 micrograms/mL of Cipro, a cube of rotifers and put it in my sump overnight (held by a clip) to keep warm (with agitation of the beaker contents occasionally when I remembered). After a day, I changed it back to fresh tank water (keeping it in the sump which was relatively dark). I repeated the treatment on the 3rd day, then changed to fresh tank water for 1 day. Then I gave it a milbemycin treatment with food overnight and then back to fresh tank water. After about a week of treatment, I put it back into my nanocube where it previously did well. In about 10 days, it now looks like the 3rd picture.
