SPS Frag dieing!

[PolandSpring]

Hi, i just got in a shipment of a large piece of the Red Dragon. I dipped it in revive when i got it, temp acclimated and water acclimated it. Its been about 2 hours in the tank. It is not looking too great. Some spots are blotchy white. Others are pale red, and some still a little deep red. Is there anything i can do to help it survive? should i turn my daylights off? maybe feed it? dip it in anything else? or leave it alone? i honestly dont think its going to make it.

what I will do is turn the day light off and live it alone and hope for the best.

leave it. main thing is do you have any other sps in the tank? if so how are they doing? if not, well, maybe its the water, whats your pars? mainly phosphate/calcium/magnesium/alk?

isn't melafix for pond treatment? I didn't know this. I've just been dipping in revive & amino acids whenever I get new coral or rocks in.

melafix is great for coral dipping...that what i use at the job doesnt stress the coral out..
