My LPS are suffering.
It started with the tissue on my frogspawn creeping up in little strips.

Now the polyps on my bright green candy-cane has started to recede.

What is going on?

What parameter do you guys want?

I find that with euphyllia like frogspawn the usual culprit is too much flow and/or something picking at it rather than parameters. Observe things at night - especially cleaner shrimp.

Really?? what do cleaners do? eat them? I have one in my SPS tank with a cleaner.

definitely looks like an lps eater has been at it...
IF your params are all normal, i would look at the affected corals at night time to see if anything is eating it.

I agree, that looks like it was an entree for something. I believe some people use a red light in their efforts to watch stuff at night without scaring it off right away.

It looks like it may have a brown jelly infection as well. It's kind of hard to tell from the pictures. I have saved corals from that before with a Lugol's dip, then quarantine the coral in a safe location.

Can you tell if there is a brown jelly like substance in the bare skeleton?
