A problem acro, please help

I dipped this suspect coral today. First dip was a double strength (20 ml per cup) of bayer and then followed by quick dip into regular strength Revive. Nothing came off this coral - I mean zero in either dip. While out I used a high power magnification glass to look closely. Again, nothing was found.

As I suspected, the issues with this coral are not related to bugs/worms. I moved it back down to the bottom in a high flow area.

This is not your everyday easy SPS.
When I saw mine at the frag farm there was an abundance of power head flow and natural sunlight.
Mine is acclimating to 8x39w T5 and moderate flow from Maxspect gyre.
After having it for 3 months this frag is finally starting to get going.

Sorry to hear it's giving you trouble. Do you mind me asking what it's called and where you bought it from? Really cool frag!

Thanks again for the input. I agree, this is not an easy one. I just hope I can get it to turn the corner.

I bought it from Pacific East Aquaculture. It was listed with a pretty nondescript name, like Purple Tip Acropora. It is supposed to have a greenish body with purple branches and tips. I got several nice pieces at the same time, but this one is definitely challenging.

Mine is supposed to be red and green.
It's currently brown with red and blue encrusting base.
