Help needed. In the last 10 days I have lost 2 hammers, an octospawn and currently a frogspawn. They have all showed the exact same symptoms. They retract for half a day then look like they pumps start to disintegrate and then polyps bail out. I have not seen any brown jelly. I have attempted to use lugols to dip them before too bad but they just keep dying. I also lost 2 sps corals that died like over night. They must have bailed out as they didn’t bleach but pure white in 24 hours. Some of the drags were a few weeks in tank some for months.

None of the fish are nipping at corals and I am fighting low phosphates. All the corals were placed far enough from each other that they aren’t able to sting each other.
I only havepicture from current casualty, the frogspawn. These pictures are from last night. Today it has melted to nothing.
Any ideas what I can do or am I doomed for this to take out rest of my corals?
