White fuzz of death on LPS

[gflat65]

I've just moved my 120 and 125 4.5 hours away and am seeing white fuzz on my LPS that is spreading and killing everythign in its path. I've tried fragging, but it seems to continue spreading. Any ideas? Would a TMPCC dip help at all, or would a SW Lugols dip be better? TIA

This affected a Goniopora I was trying to save that was also heavily infected with brown jelly disease. The white fuzz spread over the entire coral in a matter of hours although it started from one spot that was there for several days. I was dipping the coral with Reef Dip and although it made a difference in the brown jelly, it did nothing for this fuzz. It looked like a fungus of some sort although I'm not sure of that. Either way... the coral died. Not sure what to tell you.

Do you have a seperate tank you could set up with just saltwater? I have to wonder if it would help to try the dip (I haven't used TMPCC, just Reef Dip and Lugols) and get them into clean water for a bit.

Can you get any pictures?

You have a fungus, and the coral needs to be removed from the main tank. More than likely any other healthy corals will be fine. I'm not sure if a dip will work, you're going to need an antifungal or antibiotic that can stay in the tank for atleast for 24-48 hours. I'm not sure if a dip is safe for that long.

If you can snap some pictures of the white fuzz, it could be very helpful to others.
