Hi Eric,
Perhaps it could have been Cynobacteria. Any remedies/medication which would work?
On another note, as I mentioned in my PM, I have noticed that another one of my colonies has developed RTN. I managed to get hold of some Chloramphenicol through my vet, and I am ready to start treatment. However, as you may know, you cannot get "everclear" drinkable alcohol in liquor stores here in NY which is necessary to dissolve the antibiotic before putting it into the treatment tank.
The only alcohol available is de-natured etahnol (poisonous for consumption) or spirits (i.e vodka). Which of the two, if any, would be best to use to dissolve the chloramphenicol?
I am planning to follow the guidelines set out by Craig Bingman in his 1997 article to treat RTN

which are very similar to the ones spelled out in your Corals book.
regards,
Giovanni
