I find the epoxy stuff heats up and does/can cause RTN, but only on some colonies. I usually super glue everything. Has the RTN stopped? If so maybe just leave it and it will recover on its own.
Anyways, big color change from the original colony to now. I hope it colors back up for you and you don't loose any of your frags.

This one got worse overnight.. the others are staying about the same.
I think I will refrag this one and use superglue and see what that does. It was a wild collected colony so I expected it to loose color for a while. Some colonys just dont take to tank life and this may be one of them. Atleast its dying happy.. check out the polyp extension.

Dip the frags in an iodine based dip (TMPCC) before you remount them. I use the purple epoxy that you used and haven't experienced it to cause sudden death.

I've never had any issues with epoxy, some colonies start to slough, and it's like a cellular thing, all the parts do the same thing. I've fragged colonies and put them all over the tank, and they all still RTN'ed. Sometimes they just do that.

Ya Brad Im afraid thats what this one is going to do.
I used epoxy on the other two colonys I bought and didnt have any tissue damage, in fact those frags have already started to encrust the epoxy. The other 3 or 4 pieces didnt get any worse today.. so maybe they will heal up. Im about ready to go back to LPS.. I hate this getting up every morning to see if anything died or got the bug overnight  Untamed, I did dip them in TMPCC when I fragged them last weekend. This time I dipped them in Revive.
