I wish I knew, because I really don't ever want to go down that road again and if I knew what not to do, I'd be sure to not do it!

The first time I got them was after I had done a massive caulerpa pruning (I had foolishly let caulerpa grow in the main display). I'm not sure if it was the caulerpa releasing something noxious as it was pruned, or the disruption to the sand bed (the caulerpa had invaded the sand bed so removing the rhizome things from the sand had caused a lot of sand turnover).

The second time I got it ... I can't remember if I had done something to provoke it. It's possible I attempted a second pruning, because I can't seem to 100% eradicate the stuff out of my main display. My lesson is learnt, never put that stuff in your main display, have it in a satellite refugium or something like that (if at all).

Do you have caulerpa in your system by any chance?
