Oh, jeez Walker, what do you think is causing it, bjd? I’m off today I could mail you some Cipro, let me know. I hate hearing this, if there is anything else I can do let me know. Hang in there.
Thanks Kevin. No, I don't think it's BJD because there's no jelly. Things are completely open and happy until they just... fall off the skeleton. Its weird. I think it's something wrong with the water but I've done so many water changes lately so I don't know how to fix it.

After spending the last few days doing as many water changes as possible, I think it was too late. My duncan looks like it's going to bail out, my final torch died and I think my remaining two hammers are on their way out as well. Some corals are doing phenomenal, while many others are dropping dead like flies. It's quite sad honestly. Because my clowns host the duncan, I'm thinking of getting a bubble tip anemone for them from my LFS. Do you think if I put it on a rock separate from the main rock work it will stay there? On a side note - Capital Corals, a local fish store/research facility/school, run by a phenomenal group of people is struggling. I don't want to mention why directly, but I'm sure you can piece together why. They are struggling to find funds to keep going because of a few events and decisions completely out of their control. They now ship corals out nationwide, so if you're looking to order corals, please check out his website Worldofreefs.com.
Even in your own troubled situation, you're thinking of others...

Im heartbroken about this Walker. How are the gonis?

Buddy I can try to put a little batch of my corals together for you. I can frag a few things that I think you would like. I need to try my hand at shipping anyway.

If you decide to take Kevin up on his cipro dosing, we can help you with the process. In tank cipro dosing saved my tank twice.
