Also try bringing up your salinity to .025

Will do, it’s actually right in between the 24 and 25 so that should be easy. I do about a gallon a day for water change. I do it thru a AWC from auto aqua

Easy, turn your actinics on. If you see ANY fluorescence there’s hope. If not........

Are the candy cane stuck to the Rocks? You could try to save one or if there's any tissue in the other one both. I have a son Coral that I'm doing that with and I've got polyp extension after a couple weeks. I pull it out of the tank and put it in a container and squirt food on it every day and leave it for a couple hours. I come back periodically and squirt the bottom with my pipette to stir the food back up, so more will fall into the polyp openings. I went from no polyp extension to polyp extension with tentacle nubs.

I have a pair of purple firefish as well. I thought I lost one and then 14 days later I saw her just chilling under a rock in the back. I also have one that swims around. Chances are if you didn't get a nitrate spike and your clean up crew isn't huddled around one spot, the other fire fish is still alive. But I won't by them again because of how timid and shy they are. As far as the lava rock goes, get an ICP test from bulkreefsupply.com. They're $50 and it will tell you exactly what you have (and don't have) as far as metals, etc. I think I have lava rock and my stuff is doing just fine.

Marine Depot has them for $30 as well.

Perfect, maybe my purple fire fish will come out. I’ll get the test. Love the tanks guys. Can’t wait until mine matures a bit more. Maybe the other fire fish will come out soon. I learned my lesson on those fish too. Way to timid
