Sorry to see. This looks like a parameter issue and can be caused by quite a few issues and below is a list of things to check
Some possible triggers of infection are:
- Alkalinity spike
- Temperature spike
- Salinity spike
- Low dissolved oxygen
- Poor water quality related with phosphate levels up to 5 ppm
- Change in water flow
- Additions of sand
- Changes in brand of salt
- Bad test kits giving faulty results
- Levels of minor elements such as Iodine, Potassium, Strontium
- Light intensity
- Addition of new corals

Salinity: 1.025-1.026
nitrate 10-15
Phos .06- .1
calcium 410-4540
alk 8-10.5
Mag 1350
