Hey all..been a while...so here's my problem...I have a 275 mixed reef going..and every time I put a welso in or tracaphyllia in the display..they just shrivel away and die..my sps are booming..candy canes are doing good ..just about everything else is fine..fish keep disappearing..but now I see my zoas don't open and some green palys now are starting to look sickly..but there are 2 zoa colonies doing good??? don't get it...I checked Alk,cal,ph,iodine,ammonia,nitite,nitrate,phos...all fine??? Help....cant get a welso or trac to do good..
 
ANy chance there are some sort of worm in the tank or one of your fish develops a taste for some corals? I used to have a purple tang that ate brian corals.
 
Actually..I found the problem..corrosive metal from the light stand..had salt creep and became like paste and was dripping into the tank :(..I knew there was salt creep there etc. but..havent been ontop of the tank lately...see...its about 6 1/2 up!! ha ha...thanks man.,..
