Been having trouble with my euphyllia corals for the past few months. For the past few months I’ve been losing my euphyllia corals and idk why. All my parameters are good had my water tested at two LFS stores and they say my parameters are fine. It’s not brown jelly well that I can see. I had a hammer coral recede until detached from the it’s skeleton. Idk what’s going on if someone has any ideas please help

Which parameters do you test?
 
Need to be testing phosphate. I’d say the only thing on that list more important would be alkalinity.
 
Honestly i would send out an icp test... i lost a bunch of euphyllia last year in my display all my parameters were right where i wanted them but they were still dying and i couldnt figure out why sent out an icp test to find out there were crazy high levels of heavy metals in my water i began the search for the source and found that an old magnet from a frag rack had split and was rotting and rusting into my tank moral of the story i never would have found that or known if i hadn't done the icp test hope this helps
