Acro frag rtn'ing. What should I do?
It's the frag in the middle that is turning white by the base.
 Should I dip it in Seachem's reef dip, frag it, put superglue on the dying tissue, leave it alone? Other options?

In my experience there isn't much you can do. Some people will suggest glue, fragging etc, but nothing has ever worked for me.

Anyone else? I figure I have about 1 hour left before it's too late to do anything.

Cut off the good part about a 1/2" from the rtn spot. I saved 5/6 corals that did that to me 2 weeks ago. Good luck!

Well, I fragged it and glued it down but it still went rtn except for 2 polyps, lol. Maybe they will survive and grow back but I'm not holding my breath.

I would tell you to hold your breath but you would die before the coral comes back and that would not be good.
If there are two polyps left there is still hope. I had to move my tank and it was in really bad shape for a couple of weeks until I could move it back. I lost a few frags and a couple that I thought were completely goners are trying their best to live. Don't give up on them they may surprise you.
