So I picked up a superman acro and like always I Dipped. Dipped in coral and did usual inspection. But I think that the dip was either to strong of coral sensitive. It striped a layer or two of the tissue from The frag. I have polyp extension but acro looks like crap.
Is there anything I can do to help the frag to come along.

Nope, just hope it pulls through. Don't put it too close to the light if you think it's tissue has been compromised.
Every now and then you get a frag that doesn't like dips, but better to lose a frag than lose a tank.
Also, follow directions and don't OD the dip.

It's at bottom of tank now. Guess it's a wait and see. I did 4 drops of coral Rx in 800ml of water. Same as always

Oh, just checked. I have revive, not Rx. Dip of choice these days is RPS, which I probably OD as well :)

I find most do ok, but some just hate being dipped. Hawkins echinata is one that I would never dip, it just gets too p'd off.
Give it a couple days, you should know either way by then

Will do thanks brad. Going from radion lit tank to halide tank don't help. A little shock
