If you can separate the egg move it to a dryer container and treat it separately so as not to expose the other eggs to the extra movement, draft, and chemicals when you treat this one.



Actually first, if you have a good flashlight try candling it. I've been surprised to find that some infertile eggs will go as long as yours before molding up. If it wasn't alive to start with then it's sure not worth risking the others over.



I had a similar situation a couple of years ago before I started candling and based on what I've learned since I suspect that the eggs I pulled my hair out over where never even fertile. The real bummer is that I didn't even think to separate them before treating and ended up with two kinked albinos and I can't rule the anti fungus powder out as the cause which is a real bummer since it may have been all for nothing with eggs that where never good to start with.
