Default Open brain

Well I posted earlier about 2 corals I got free from someone tearing their tank down and both were looking sick. 1 plate coral which didnt make it and 1 open brain coral. The brain is having some tissue problems and receeding. I have read that Iodine can help, 40 drops in a 1 gallon of tank water. Problem is you cant find Lugol`s Iodine on the shelves anymore. Apparently its a common product to make Meth with. I have found some Iodine tincture 2%, can I try and use this to save this coral? I tried to feed it last night and it didnt try to eat. Both mouths on the coral are open which I know isnt a good sign.

Tanks been up and running for years, its a 90 gallon with 765w of light. Only fish in the tank are 2 Clarki`s and 1 yellow tang. I have some other soft corals in the tank and they arent showing any signs of stress. I`m running carbon as well 24/7. Anyone that can help me with this coral would be greatly appreciated!
