flesh erosion disease

[gtstylez87]

i got a piece of live rock that had a curly q anemone on it i didn't see until today, and i think she got stung by it but im not 100%. she has white blotches on her tail and it might turn into flesh erosion disease. I was going to use erythromycin or furanII. i added iodine to the tank to help but i want to know if any body has treated this disease before and what they used.

I used neomycin.

i cant find that medicine. some guy told my to rub pure aloe in it. has anybody done that?

The most likely cause of the erosion is vibriosis.
As such, I wouldn't be taking any chances with "alternative" choices of treatment.
My wife has cancer and we definitely wouldn't entertain any thoughts of not using the recommended chemtherapy to go instead with an "alternative" type treatment.
I would use an alternative treatment in addition to the recommended treatment if I could find documented substantiation of it's effectiveness when used along with the chemo.
If you can't find neo, then use Maracyn II or minocycline equivalent.
