I’ve been having a problem with my euphyllia for about a month now. I thought it was my emerald crab, and it seemed to stop after I finally was able to remove him. However that didn’t seem to be the end of it. When this started I had two hammers, a frogspawn, an octospawn, and a torch in my euphyllia garden as seen here:
The torch I believe got taken out by that giant bta, but I got rid of the nem and my new torch also went within a couple weeks. My frogspawn as well as two of the three heads on the octospawn also got taken out by something. I dipped the octospawn and a couple flatworms came off, but I was told they’re harmless ones. Are they though?

I just came home from work to find the last head on the octospawn close to death. I have no clue why this is happening or what could be eating my euphyllia. It’s only the euphyllia, literally nothing else has this problem.
The fish I have are all supposedly reef safe, but I’m still so scared that one of them could be the culprit. There are 7 of them:
WTB tang
Watanabe angel
Pair of clowns
Dragon goby
Paid of pygmy wasps
The only other thing I wonder about would be my red squat lobster. I got him because the one article I could find said they’re reef safe, but there is literally only that one single resource available on their care/behavior.
Someone please help me figure this out, I just wanna be able to keep euphyllia again. They’re my favorite corals and it’s so devastating to see this happening in my tank.
