spots on sps?

[wtrbug]

They are on the underside and the top. This guy has been in my tank for 5 months or so. RTN?STN? This guy never did really take off compared to another one I bought the same day. Third pic. Thanks for any and all advice.

spots on sps?

Looks like initial stages of STN, but could also be pest related. If you can remove it, I would definitely inspect it and dip to see if any aefw or red bugs are on it. How's the flow its getting? Could also be from too little flow...

if it is RTN, it will be gone tomorrow. It doesn't look like it because it is patches at different locations. Try to see if you see any bugs (little dark dots). Seems to be a bunch of this going around (tissue loss).

It looks like an infection of some kind to be honest. Clip and dip is probably your best bet. GL!

If they look like spots, i would guess aefw. You can dip and confirm.

I dipped in coral RX this morning. I know the picture isn't great but please take a look and let me know what you think. Thanks

How do you use that?

Seems to be a bunch of different concentrations people are using, I've even read guys stating they just mix it until the water is milky. The solution I use is 4ml per cup of tank water. Dip for 10mins, rinse in tank water extremely well. I rinse twice.

I seriously thought this was a joke when I responded. I just had a second and did a Google search on it and there is a lot of information out there. I'll do more research tonight. Thanks for the great advise.
