    Reef Iodide will not do what you want....it's intended to dose in the tank and not turn into Iodine. In this case, you want the Iodine so you either want to buy Seachem Reef Dip or you want to buy Lugol's Solution.

    I would recommend using airline tubing to siphon off the dead/necrotic tissue giving the coral a bath with an Iodine solution like TM Pro Coral Cure or similar product. The iodine will act as an antiseptic and hopefully kill prevent the spread of the tissue necrosis

    looks like brown jelly disease. Just lost my elegance to it. It didn't take but a couple of days.

    Do you feed it? It may be starving. I see the algae on it but don't see any "Brown Jelly". They need oyster feast and some phyto or zoo plankton. You can do the Lugols dip for a precaution but I would feed it.
