Melting Dendro

Hi Guys-

I have had two dendro's in my reef keeping carrer. The first one that i had seemed to melt infront of my very eyes. I am scared as my second one, now 7 heads strong is starting to do the same thing.

Each time this happened, i checked my parameters and everything seems in line. After doing some research it appears that you can overfeed your dendro causing a bacterial infection with in the digestive cavity.

I remember feeding my first dendro a large krill that it could barely get into its stomach. Shortly after that, it the tissue started to melt off. Soon thereafter the rest of the coloney died. This is starting to happen to my second coloney after feeding a whole large krill. I cannot find a way to correct this. Only now am i able to put two and two together.

Does anyone have any input around saving my dendro coloney. I am ok with the fact i may lose my main head, but do not want to lose the 7 babies.

Any reccomendations on medicines / dips? Do I cut a large portion off?
