    I think leaving it alone might be the best thing or it, miami hurricane isn't a cheap chalice.

    And I said in chat, if you see the skeleton and algae starts to grow on it, make sure you snip it off because it can take over the chalice...or what's left of it.

    Iodine kills more corals than it helps. It may or may not cause pests to drop off ( it rarely kills them) but I would never dip a chalice in it. Echinopora is a very sensitive and delicate coral. Like others have said Iodine is a poor choice of dips for pretty much any coral now that products such as Revive and Coralrx are available. Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure is also an iodine based product. I would avoid it as well especially with delicate corals.

    That said Echinopora commonly browns when stressed. Follow the advice others posted above and watch for tissue recession.

    I would also add that that chalice frag looks to be very freshly cut. You want to purchase frags after they achieve a nice fleshy rounded edge. It usually takes only a couple of days for this to occur.

    I have used the Tropic marin product, with iodine and it really makes sps angry, I haven't killed one with it but yikes. It's pretty much a known fact not to use Tropic Marin on the smooth skinned acros, such as Hawkins blue, or the other turakis, echinatas, etc. I wasn't aware there were any common pests of chalice, I have just chucked them in the tank (probably not good either).

    It's not looking so good, I highly doubt it is going to survive.

    Well as long as there is some flesh to it, I'd leave it be. It may take months for it to come back....if it does. unless you see just a white skeleton, it may have some life to it.
