Background. Been doing salt water tanks off and on for 30 years. In it hard-core for the last 10. Sell corals all the time. Mostly high end SPS.
For the last 2 years I have a mystery. Every 4-6 months I will lose a few heads on euphillias or candy cane coral. Nothing else is effected. I have massive acro colonies , montis, 10 different bounce mushrooms, lobos, and about 50 other corals. I have 100 different corals in my 225.
I cut off the damaged coral when I see it, or completely frag the coral up into many pieces. I can't stop this trend. Half of my euphyllias are never effected to make things either stranger. Acros are never effected.
I lost a 2 headed holy grail last week. Then about 6 heads of gold hammer and 10 heads on the candy cane. Everything has been fine since I cut the stuff off . 6 months goes by sometimes and nothing happens except massive growth. Then out of nowhere I lose some heads. No jelly, no bugs, no nothing I can figure out.
I can give water parameters but shouldn't matter because the most delicate corals in tank are thriving. Plus I'm really anal about my water qyluality.
The nothing happening to 99% of my corals is what makes me scratch my head.
Fish aren't bothering them from what I can tell either.
No stray voltage.
I'll post some pics
They just seem to melt in a day or 2
