Ok so I have a tone of nice LPS coral. Big open brains, blasto, scoly, trachy, pineapple coral, candy cane, you name it.
So over the last month they are shedding their polyps like crazy. Lobo i had for 5 years totally gone, pineapple coral, totally gone, Space invader pectina, gone.......blastos..........gone then my scolys........all three of them! Ugh its killing me.
My alk is steady at 7.8, cal at 420, mg at 1280, the only parameter to surprise me was phosphate. Its up to about .5. I haven't had phosphate issues for a long time so not sure why its high but it is. Did have a wrasse die a little while ago but i cant see that making a 125 gallon tank rise that much.
Could this be the main culprit of killing lps coral? My sps are fine, zoas are fine, its only the big fleshy lps that are dying like crazy.
Thoughts?
