Hi guys, its me again.
It really has been on unlucky year for me starting off with my gold torch melting away. Then 2 weeks half of my indo frogspawn started to melt. In my last post, some people recommend me to stop using vibrant and do a water change. Which i stopped and do a 30% water change as well as 10% water change every 4 days for this past 2 weeks. I noticed today that my oldest frogspawn started to close up and melt away, again half of it. The frogspawn that melted 2 weeks ago started to close up as well. It is really frustrating that i dont know what's causing it or how to fix this situation. It really sucks to see that half of my euphylkia started to melt. Do you guys know what i should do to stop this? Anything helps, im desperate at this point.
Salinity 35ppt
Po4: .03
The rest of the param are in the picture below. I double check it with salifert kit and they are accurate.

As in this picture, half of it is doing fine and the frogspawn near it is doing fine as well. At least for the time being.

What are your nitrates at? I didn't see that listed. I had a 12 head hammer colony melt away when I bottomed out my nutrients with vibrant.

Try an ICP test to rule out something weird in your water?

Run carbon in case something in water (coral war fare?) that it can remove?

Check at night for sweepers of other corals hitting them?

I had some recession on an acro and dosed aminos, microbacter7, and melafix (5ml per 20 gallons for a few days, makes skimmer run more fyi, anti pathogenic bacteria treatment and saw pdf from company that it helps with certain other pests on corals) and that combo stopped the recession on the acro.

Thank you, i might have to do the icp test. But i doubt any of them would be alive after waiting for a month for the result if theyre melting at this rate. I do run carbon 24/7 in my sump. Other lps are doing fine as well. Just the euphyllia acting up

Is there any antibiotics i can buy without prescription from doctors? Ive been trying to find one

You can get fish meds online or at pet store. Definitely check for flat worms, like said above.

These are all just guesses and possible issues, but if dying rapidly there is not much to loose trying things...

Update on the euphyllias, the 4 heads that closed up, 3 has melted and 1 started to have his mouth open. And as of this morning, my dragon soul started to close up, mouth gaping. Only euphyllias. I tried diping it and there r no flatworms and im still waiting for my antibiotics. This is really frustrating and it makes me want to quit the hobby :(
