This one got worse overnight.. the others are staying about the same.
I think I will refrag this one and use superglue and see what that does. It was a wild collected colony so I expected it to loose color for a while. Some colonys just dont take to tank life and this may be one of them. Atleast its dying happy.. check out the polyp extension.

Dip the frags in an iodine based dip (TMPCC) before you remount them. I use the purple epoxy that you used and haven't experienced it to cause sudden death.

I've never had any issues with epoxy, some colonies start to slough, and it's like a cellular thing, all the parts do the same thing. I've fragged colonies and put them all over the tank, and they all still RTN'ed. Sometimes they just do that.

Ya Brad Im afraid thats what this one is going to do.
I used epoxy on the other two colonys I bought and didnt have any tissue damage, in fact those frags have already started to encrust the epoxy. The other 3 or 4 pieces didnt get any worse today.. so maybe they will heal up. Im about ready to go back to LPS.. I hate this getting up every morning to see if anything died or got the bug overnight  Untamed, I did dip them in TMPCC when I fragged them last weekend. This time I dipped them in Revive.

They will likey be ok and the STN will stop if they get proper flow and not too bright of light until they get settled so keep them on the sandbed. I think it is likely a flow issue. Sory I disagree and I don't recommend dipping corals in iodine treatments for rtn/stn. I know the manfacturers of those products say that you should but it has never worked for me, ever. The best thing IME is really good random flow in high quality water.
