rtn help

[nyk]

I ha e recently aquired a frag of garf bonsai from another reefer in a trade. I saw when I got home that it had 2 spots of rtn when I got home. This was about 2 weeks ago when I received it. The spots were tiny when I got it but now they are half the size of my pinky nail. Does anyone have a known solution to rtn or is this going to be a wait it out and see if it stops kind of thing?

Clip it above the rtn or throw it away.

I'm no specialist but if I were you I'd consider fragging it. If you do make sure your frag line is well below or above the dead spot, depending of course where the rtn is starting on the piece.

Well the frag is not like you regular frag. It seems like it was fragged like a encrusting monti. It has covered the disc and is now starting to branch so there is no real way to cut it without braking the fiscal up.

Ugly frag for a while beats dead frag any day

This is true.

I could try to stop the rtn with super glue.

Sometimes the glue works. If the coral is rtn, then you may want to try moving it to another location.

By "I", I mean u...

what does RTN mean

 

[ripped tide]

Rapid tissue necropsis. It's when acros die off quickly

But this isn't as fast as I have been reading online. How would I use the glue to stop it? Put it directly on the spots or around?

I would try an iodine based dip to try and stop it.

Gluing seals the area. And u can have STN or rtn depending on speed.
