SPS + Pulsing Xenia = Dead PX.

No really, this is exactly what is happening. The xenia that I picked up last week is in bad shape! All others are doing well. Water parameters are near perfect with the current exception of rise in nitrate thanks to dying xenia. What do I do with it? Quarantine? or just let it be? At the moment it is under low light low flow.

I am going through the same thing. Water has become extremely clean. No detectable nitrate and 0.025 or less phosphate because of the acros I want to keep. Most of my softies have started wither away. I even started dosing reef energy A&B and it didn't really help much probably because my nitrate and phosphate levels are still very low...
