Since the move, My surviving LPS are quickly going the way of the dodo because of this white fuzz that keeps spreading. How effective are dips? What dips are recommended?

It's definitely a fungus of some sort (or bacteria, etc.). It spreads at a rate of about 1/8" an hour and when it floats off, the skeleton is white... I'll let you know if any of the dips work on it. I'll try a SW/Lugol's and a TMPCC dip for everyone (that's what I've got in house). Thanks guys. I've had this before and nothing worked and it only comes around under high stress to the coral. Ahh fun. a new one with little info;)...
