AEFW or something else? Pics included

I have this green acro that has been on the sand bed and has been looking good. Last night I moved it up a couple of inches onto a rock. When I looked at it under a flash light I noticed that on the side that had not been visible that there as some flesh missing and some that was peeling away.
I have some Revive and some Lugol's solution. Should I dip this coral, trash it, or frag and dip. If a dip is recommended which one should I use. I have a friend that lives close by that has some CoralRx that I could use, but I've read that Revive and CoralRx are pretty much the same,not sure if thats true or not.

I'm going to include 2 pictures of the coral in question and a picture of another acro in my tank that is looking good. All my corals look good except for the acro I'm asking about. All parameters are good and stable.

I see my pictures didn't turn out to good. I'm going to get a few more.

Thanks for any advice.

doesn't look like aefs to me..
usually don't see them doing damage like that..
the flesh looks either like its rtning or something is eating it..
i'd say frag it and toss the base..
maybe put the frags elsewhere in your tank in case there is a beasty that doesn't travel far, living around the coral's current position.
if it is something eating the coral, it wont be long until it travels all around the tank..
sorry for sounding so grim...

RTN was my original guess. It seems the flesh is melting rather than being eaten. Should I dip the frags in Revive?
