Okay so I purchased an SPS from a store for my reef and I placed it in my tank on Sunday. Sunday and Monday the coral looked good still bright yellow and all (pic below). Today after work I came home and the coral is 99% gone. I have no clue as to why and would like some help.
Tank parameters Hannah and salifert test kits
8.1 dkh
420 calc
1350 mag
.03ppm phos
2ppm nitrate
Tank details
20G nuvo (16g total)
18 months old mixed reef ( 5 acros 3 montis and 25+ lps and softies)
2 AI 16 HD’s
2 jebao sow 4’s
IM UV sterilizer
Filter flood
2-4lbs of rock in back chambers as filtration
Started with sand but went bare bottom after Dino’s about 6 months ago (was thinking of adding it back soon)
All other corals are doing fine and look happy and are growing. Walt Disney and strawberry shortcake are visually growing each week and have good polyp extension. Green slimer frag has good polyp extension but is a low grower. Pink caddy frag is also growing but is almost a solid green color. Pink lemonade frag is in a battle with algae but is hanging in there. All lps and softies are healthy and growing.

Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
