Just started on the top one about two days ago. Did a water change last Sunday using a different salt, but didn’t affect my overall parameters too much. Previously both were doing perfectly fine, and have been for months on end.

Top one had always had a massive “bubble” where multiple polyps fused together (where exposed skeleton is) that I think popped when I took it out of the water to scrub the rock.

Phosphate: 0.25, nitrate:2.5ppm, calcium:380, alkalinity:12dkh, Ph:8.3, salinity: 1.025

First picture is top. Second picture is the bottom one, which this morning turned brown.

Your Po4 is high but im not sure if it could cause BJD. From what ive read and understood, BJD is a result of many factors. As to what you can do, your best bet is an iodine dip. If you can isolate it as well that would be much better.
