I have what looked to be a rather healthy growing birdsnest frag that was growing quite a bit since I first got it.
Just a couple of days ago it has lost almost all its polyps and I noticed some bleaching white spots.
Nothing per lighting, flow, chemicals, etc has changed in the tank.
sg: 1.025
amm: 0
nitrite: 0
phos: 0
nitrate: >1
ca: 400
mg: 1250
alk: 7.5-8
Now one thing I did notice is that I have a rather large mushroom leather that decided to shrink down and seems to be peeling off its waxy layer. it has done this before and the birds nest never looked this bad, but could this be the cause of the problem? I hear that leathers can be rather bad to sps, however this isn't touching at all. they are in the vicinity but never come within 6-8 inches of each other.
Poor birds nest looks like this now:
