STN some times can reverse right in ti RTN. I was changing 5 gal from my 120 gal before i left to head out to Afghanistan. and after i did it . all leverls were perfect. then watched one of my acros just peel away... in the matter of 3-5 minutes just like that.

From your description I would say it was RTN from the start.
STN happens over days/weeks and usually is quite slow working from the base of the coral. Usually STN does not kill the coral but if stress continues then it can turn into RTN. RTN in comparison can happen in a matter of hours to maybe a couple of days if the coral is just hanging on. The corals starts peeling/flaking flesh off and the coral is usually unsavable.

Well so much for saving the coral through fragging..
Even the fragged parts that were far far away from the original deterioration have now started to fall apart. At least everything else is looking good in the tank and the coral added at the same time has not only coloured up, but the minimal damage from the transfer has already recovered as well.
