Brain is croaking.....
OK I am at my wits end here.If I lose the brain I am pulling the plug from the hobby for good. Discus looks good right about now. I cant keep acro,milli,monti,stags,candy canes,trumpets,and now my brain is sliding slowly but surely. I had a flame angel that was taking chunks of it and eating it I found another home for her but the brain is just deteriorating into just a skeleton.....What am I missing.

Slow down there! Before you pull the plug give us more info on your system, levels etc. Maybe there is a simple solution.

Wondering if there isn't a little "chemical warfare" going on with the other corals and the brain? What other corals are near or have contact with it?

I lost my open brain in my early reefing experience. It was deteriorating as you described. Late in his decline, I used to target feed it at night under a weighted margarine container and it showed signs of improvement for a bit. I believe this would have saved it if I thought of it earlier. Hope this helps or gives you food for thought.
