That looks like Stn .. slow tissue narcosis, what is your p04 at , have you had any swings in alk recently .. ??
Your triton results aren’t bad , on your report in the actions and dosing triton tells you how too correct them !!

I agree,this looks like "slow"tissue nacrosis.I would keep a eye on the p04 and Alkalinity as well.

A dip and frag session may be in order.

Definitely necrosis. Could be chemistry related from possible swings?

I'm not sure about STN as you didn't give us enough info about history of chemistry of the tank.
On a other note I would dip this coral in the Bayer to make sure for AEFW.
The lines around where your have life tissue and dead tissue looks like something has been munching on your SPS.

Pests, lights and possible flow if that colony did not grow in your tank.

Shadowing is a huge problem that can kill in the center and below, and then it spreads out into the open - point-source lights are the problem here. Flow can do this too, but usually if a colony grows in your tank, then the flow is fine for the placement... but colonies that were brought in can have issues.

Nobody ever thinks that they have pests at first, but look hard.

Sometimes is just happens. If it’s is STN and this has spread over several days it may stop but it looks like RTN rapid tissue necrosis which mostly like will continue to spread rapidly. You could try remove the coral and give it an Iodine bath or some other antibiotic. Or cut away the dieing area. All of this assuming that your water is ok.

Yet, we don't have enough info about the history of your tank as far is water chemistry to look into a direction that might give us a indication as why this is happening.
Btw, UV sterilization won't work to stop this.
With over 80 corals in you tank and just dipped it into the RX you might got rid of the pest but not the eggs that are attached a or several corals.
I strongly recommend that you always quarantine your corals and dip every 7 days for 6 weeks to break the pest cycle.
It's like quarantine your fish as you can't take the risk anymore.
