As you can see the JF Kamikazi on the bottom left is RTNing pretty fast noticed it about 3 days ago. I am going to cut it up. However, last night I noticed the monti was getting the white fuzzy almost fuzzy like spots. Is this also dying or is something eating it? I have been observing them for a while and I cannot see anything. I think it is STN or RTNing an well.

I had a ALK drop and I raised it back up but it appears I raised it too quickly. I am nervous on raising it. Recommendations on what I should do about raising the ALK? For the kamikazi I am going to save what I can. For the monti I think I will take a frag but just monitor it moving forward.

Is it just my imagination or do you also have clustered bite marks of that back left frag near the base or is that just a trick of the light/ just new growth tips?
 
That is new growth. The picture was taken when only the moon lights where on so it was closed up. Right now that frag is open. Here is a picture taken a few minutes ago. I am not seeing any bugs or nudibranches. I suspect it is ALK just due to the drop I had. Think I am good trying to maintain 7-8 and fragging the RTN coral and being more diligent in the future?
