What happened to my corals

This morning my tank looked amazing and healthy and I leave for 2 hours and come back and everything looks unhappy? What could’ve changed that quickly?

without any context, test results, photos - we have just as little clue as you! :) , first thing I check is PH & nitrate/ammonia levels

All my test kits are used up so I can’t test water till I take it to the fish store tomorrow but I just added a new carbon packet so hopefully that helps

Sorry lights off now so things are naturally closed up but I unfortunately don’t have any test left I used them up. Any ideas on what can happen in two hours ?

do you see any of them leaking out zooxanthelle? do you have the temperature/salinity readings?

Temp and salinity look normal. I will say my euphylia look a bit better since adding the carbon a hour ago. But what could the carbon do ?

alot, corals have terpenes like flowers, and the release of them into the water column can have various effects, I use carbon so that I can run sinularia , cabbage and LPS+SPS in the same tanks/systems for example

I do have softies LPs and Sps and a clam so yes something probably released in my tank

hows the clam doing? in this situation my first thought is get the clam safe, is it showing stress signals?

Nah clam looks nice surprisingly he’s survived two tank crashes lol I love this little guy . Also space invader looks fluffy again and not deflated so maybe it was something polluting the water maybe my clam went sexual

I wish I studied them more to know, give me a few years :D , glad to see the carbon improvement, just keep an eye out for trace mineral crashes now, do a calcium test if possible and depending on your salt likely going to need a smidge of iron and maganese, best of luck cowboy
