My tank has been having a creeping issue. About a two months ago my croc island scoly, after doing amazing for 6 months slowly withered on one side and died. Weeks later my one of my Acan colonies started to not fully open. This was a colony that had been in the tank a year plus. I waited to see if it would recover on its own. It did not, so I dipped in Lugol's, and the flesh fell off the skeletal structure immediately, like they weren't attached to it at all.
The issue with that Acan colony appeared in another colony, then another. I lost 4 acan colonies that had been doing pretty great in the tank for years.
Now my Lobo is showing a strange issue of "bubbling" in the center. It comes and goes but it is most of the time bubbles up, and the inflated area moves very easily, like its full of water.
Parameters of the tank
Alk: 7.0-7.4
Nitrate: 0.0
Phosphate: 0.03
Dosing:
All For Reef: 2.5 mls a day
Feeding:
Fish get flake food one to two times a day
Corals a mix of Reef Roids, Benepets, Reef Chili, and Fauna Marin LPS pellets twice a week
Weekly dosing of Brightwell Restore for coral amino
Livestock:
2 clown fish
1 tailspot blenny
half dozen Astrea snails
I do have an extremely large bristle worm population, but to my knowledge they don't eat coral.
The strangest thing is everything in the tank is doing great, then it isn't and is dead in two weeks. None of the corals appeared to have bite marks or predation from possibly the blenny.
Hoping to get some help with this before I loose my Lobo too.
