So a couple days ago I noticed half of my scolys skeleton retracted and I instinctively moved him to the other side of the tank. (It was about 4 inches away from frogspawn and 3 inches from tube coral which is super peaceful) and I had no idea what could of been the problem. Eventually I started watching him and he wouldn’t eat even with his sweepers out. I figured the shrimp( which is a little demon) was eating him so I caught him and returned him to my lfs. Then today I got home and about 95% of it was dead and retracted, mouth and everything dead. Still had green skin left, but I caught a certain fish picking the leftover skin off. My regular ocellaris clown was picking at it and rubbing up on it. Which makes me think he was A) trying to host it while it was dying because he was an ******* to the coral next to the scoly or B) eating the dead leftover skin of the scoly. And then I saw bjd which I recently had a problem with a few weeks ago with my Knicks torch which died the same way. Am I missing something or is my tank refusing to allow torches and scolys in my tank cause every other coral I get (even frogspawn/hammer/any lps and what not are untouched and healthy) I feed my clowns once a day every night for a decent amount, I am going to up the amount to twice a day, but worried about nutrient levels being unbalanced. I have a 29g bio cube and I’ll post pictures of livestock and a pic I caught. Let me know if you have any idea what could be the killer and how I can prevent it to I can keep adding corals to my collection. I added all pics from beginning of journey to the end, even added my torches journey of about a week after dying in under 2 days. I’m beyond flabbergasted and wanna figure out a solution to this. Note I do have lower flow which is directed mostly at my euphyllia, but I am buying a power head very soon.
