It has appeared our of nowhere in the past 4 days.

Day 1, hammers looked terrible, all crumbled, the tissue was receding, and some little white sponge looking things. I took them out and dipped in iodine.

Day 2. Some improvement. They opened up a bit more and looked better.

Day 3,about the same as day 2

Day 4, once again looking terrible and an explosion of the white stuff.

Looks like a sponge, but where the heck did it come from so quickly? Does it only affect euphyllia? I did introduce a GSP coral but I had it quarantined for over a month and looked fine to me.

Mag: 1290
Calcium: 390
Alk: 7.7

I'm working on improving those numbers.
