In the past couple weeks I've been experiencing quite a bit of tissue loss on many of my large Acro colonies. The tissue loss seems to be very rapid where it goes from being healthy one day, and within 2 days all the tissue are gone from some branches. I've done as much as I can looking through my system to see what's changing but can't seem to put my finger on a possible root cause. I've even done an ICP test and everything came back within the right ranges. I was hoping I would really see something that's out of range that I could address but that was not the outcome. I do have a few angels in the tank including Japanese swallowtail and a small Emperor angel. I thought they were the ones picking up the corals but it doesn't seem so. I've removed the small Emperor angel to another tank. And even after that I see healthy corals losing their tissue. It's very frustrating knowing you're doing everything you possibly can to maintain a healthy system only to have something like this happen.
You really feel helpless.
I've cut a few pieces off some of the colonies that are experiencing tissue loss. I've mounted them on frag plugs, move them to another tank thinking they would survive. However within one week all the pieces I move to the new tank is dead. The tanks are sharing the same plumbing and filtration system. Is just that I have different livestock in the different tanks. The new tank I move the frags to only have two tangs and some clown fishes. I know these guys do not pick on acros. Any help or good advice I can get will be greatly appreciated.
