corals dying?

[u mike]

i am having trouble with my new bubble coral it seems to be coming off the rock. looks like it is just peeling away. aso my mushroom is acting up also. i have had that for about a year. looks like it is shrivling up. checked all numbers seem to be in check.

Can you let us know exactly what the parameters are ?
What do you test your salinity with ?
My train of thought has always been "When in doubt, do a water change"

As kingfisher said,
do massive water changes ASAP---like, 3 30g changes in 3 days. That will cure your problems. I am assuming that you have a refractometer.
Leave the bubble coral alone, it will come back to life in 5-10 days after the WCs.
Keep alk between 3.0-3.5 mEq/L, and you will be fine.

here are my #'s
alk 1.7
ph 8.6
calcium 400
nitrate 0
ph 8.6

Did anything change recently that would have put too much flow on the bubble? Could it just be relocating?

I just moved the bubble today put it in the middle of the tank now we wait and see.
