I had a huge Chalice that would send out 4" sweepers. Favia also do this. Chalice also feed using a mucous net. If that gets blown off the chalice it can cause problems for anything it lands on.
I agree with Albert on the Euphyllia tentacles breaking off when they're disturbed, as well the polyp will sometimes bail out. Polyp bail out happens with Pocillopora too. Anemones are known to spit out mucous bundles. Any of those things would kill an LPS polyp if it tried to ingest it. If one or two polyps die it can take out the whole colony.

I recently had a similar thing happen I had a good sized colony of fuzzy green mushrooms with around 30 heads I saw one looking unhealthy no big deal happened before but then in a space of 24 hours I lost almost the entire colony I have 4 heads that survived definitely unhappy but alive nothing else in the tank was affected it is very strange what happens in our tanks sometimes

We chase a goal, a dream, a vision. Sometimes things don't work the way we imagine they should. Its what we get, and what we can expect when we try to "play god" with mother nature in our own little oceans. Nothing is ever perfect, and we have very little warning often, so very little opportunity to correct a situation. Hey....it's reefing. It ain't easy. If it was easy everyone would be doing it. If everyone is doing it, where is the fun in that? I like a challenge. And we all have to have a bit of "that special kind of crazy" to get ourselves into this hobby and endure.
