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.

Walker,

Did you add any new LPS shortly before the trouble started? I have had an unknown disease breakout in my tank after adding a couple of Indo Torches. It took a month or two but then they started to bail. There was no BJD but I treated with Cipro anyway, it did not help it also spread to a green hammer that had previously been very healthy for years and to a small blue hammer but it did not affect the Peach Hammer right next to the green hammer or the blue torch that was also nearby. The Indo Torches died in short order and the green hammer and blue hammer are still dying but very slowly. The Indos passed many months ago. I don't have a fix just curious as I've heard rumors from others of similar experiences.

I've right now got the green hammer in my Berghia tank to clean off the Aiptasia then I plan to try to frag what is left of it and try Revive on one frag, Lugol's on another, etc. to see if any of them improve.

Good morning Thomas and Jill. @TheNative192 Ive been meaning to ask you how the crazy looking tiger octo, hammer spawn frogphyllia was looking.

Its got a lot bluer tips and the orange is still popping under blue lights. Its hard to photograph since the blue tips turn white under an orange lens and the orange becomes less colorful. It still has not settled down per say but it seems to be happy. I am still trying to figure out the correct flow in the tank especially with some Acros on the way but everything seems to be happy. My light schedule is still ramping up for higher par over the next 50 days so I think it will look a lot more normal and have more color under higher par as the tips may be turning a bit of purple as well.

That's going to be an interesting one to watch grow. Extremely unique

What are you parameters? I'm sure this was asked and answered, but I've been swamped at work and haven't read the threads to catch up.
 
So got up early to do some ice fishing, caught and filleted some walleye. Bear battered them for the boys and I.
