Hi
What could possibly kill the corals so they react in the way you can see on the photo?
I have been dealing with a lot of issues, ICP showed a lot of lucks with elements, since then I did 2x20% water changes, I have started dosing trace elements. But no improvement.
The PO4 and NO3 was very high, I managed to get down PO4 down to 0.46. I used NP-Bacto-Balance to reduce it. But still no improvement. I am adding prodibo bacteria every 2 weeks.
I used to doze Ozone every 1-2 weeks for few hours, but stopped as I thought it might burn the soft corals, but no change. None of the fish is picking on them.
See attached previous ICP, but like I said I have been doing all of the above since then, so the next ICP should look better.
What else could cause it?

- toadstools, they will open up for few days and then close for week or two, some won’t open. Eventually, like you can see on the picture, they die from the top.
- gorgonian, only open up a little, you can see it is loosing the flesh
- sinularia, on the left, colony is still opening up, on the right, it has been like this for the last 4 weeks
