Melting Ricordea

[user 2204]

Not really sure what is going on with one of the colonies of Ricordeas that I have in my tank these are the only ones that look like they are melting away.
I blew off some of the slime that was covering them before taking this photo, any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.

Also they did look really good just a couple of days ago. Fully inflated and brightly colored.

I did find the following article, but unsure if this is what the slime is.

I agree that looks like what is happening is a bacterial infection. I think if it was me I would do a dip. Interesting stuff in that article about Vitamin C.

That is what I am thinking. I figure I'll do a dip today and move it over to a quarintine tank and see what happens.
I have heard about the Vitamin C before, as far as being very good for corals and the such that is.

Cheers,
Alex
