andy Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 What are the latest thoughts on White Band disease? My ORA Tort has started bleaching from the outside of it's encrusted base, all the way around. It's a narrow band right now, but it's slowly growing inwards. (scary) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dsoz Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Totally grasping at straws here, but have you tried dipping it in iodine, TMPCC, or potassium permanganate? If it is bacterial the iodine could help. dsoz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plack Posted June 5, 2008 Share Posted June 5, 2008 Reminds me of STN . I have had happen after adding to much kalk/buffer causing an alk spike. I just fragged dipped in iodine and remounted in less light and it grew back in some cases. Sorry to see that unfortunately on such a nice coral good luck. :-) Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
