Looks like huge vitamin deficiency. Feed at minimum:

Nori seaweed basted with garlic
mysis shrimp
spirulina brine shrimp
Formula 2 frozen and flake
sm plankton
LRS herbivore diet

Add selcon vitamins 2x a week to food and also garlic extract 2-3X per week.
 
Feed LRS reef frenzy 98% of time daily 1/2 sheet nori with garlic
