STN infection...

I know there's tons of debate over RTN/STN...and still no documented causes or cures.
Instead of the knee jerk reaction to just frag the piece...I’m going to try to do something else, see if it works, if the infection/whatever it is, gets worse, I’ll start sniping it up...
I believe this started, when a red mushroom was rubbing against the base, it then started there, and is working its way up.
I've done a 30% WC, parameters are fine, not wasting my time typing them all out...
Doubled up on Carbon...
I'm going to give it a dip into "Revive Coral Cleaner"
Then put around the area of infection, and slightly above, some 'Original Neosporin'. If it's a bacterial related, a good antibiotic like this 'may' work...we will see.
I'll post some images...
Hopefully a cure will be found some day.

I am pretty sure neosporin is petroleum based and I absolutely would not put it on your coral or in your reef. I have stopped rtn with iodine based dip before without having to frag. It seems every time I have to frag the frags just rtn as well.
