Did it just stop one day? Did it comsume all your pieces and thats how it stopped? This is very intresting. so i think we can rule out be a Aussie thing.

Jose,
No back then these Acans from Japan were knew to the hobby at that time.Being it's a SPS only had a few LPS corals at that time.But over time days/week it slowly the signs showed on the others.And when they went to the other tank.It took out just about every micro,chalice acans.Only a few pulled threw at that time.It seems whatever pathogen it was it ran a cycle.Because he did lose a lot.But others were able to pull threw.Other than water changes at that time.I'm not saying its was the acans that this came in on.I really don't know for sure,because the watermelon chalice was in there also.It seem to start on the acans,and go from there?That's where I first saw these signs of tissue loss.But these were Japan acans,not the Aussie.But it's the same that we saw what's posted in these pictures.And what people here are saying about their loses.

I am about to dose my tank with some interceptor. I have had to frag down several pieces because of the recession and fear of losing some very expensive hillae, lords, and echinos. blah.... I will let everyone know how the tank looks tomorrow after the interceptor dose. BTW I am doing x3 the dosage.

I've collected since the Aussie imports started and still have many colonies of Aussie Acans in my system. So far, knock on wood, nothing remotely similar has happened to any. However, I don't have any Aussie chalices. One thing that I have noticed is that ever since I started feeding the tank heavily, the Acans became much healthier and puffier. So naturally, my question to the guys having problems, are you feeding your tank enough? Also, I dose amino acids on a regular basis.
i will let you know tonite if the interceptor is working as soon as i see or notice anything different. things are starting to look bad i am noticing the white line that you are talking about now ReefMonger. Things were looking pretty bad last nite it has started to attack four of my micro colonies and mummy eye is gone now just lost a nice colony. i am crying while typing this 
. i hope the interceptor works.

So sorry to hear this for you ktar. I hope the interceptor works for you. I wonder if the problem maybe those little black bugs I have heard about causing the problem?
If so, I've heard that the Interceptor will kill them. Got my fingers crossed.

When they be come infected,they have no desire to eat.I wish feeding was the trick,but it's not.Matter of fact you really don't have to eat them at all.Just when you do,they grow a lot faster.I was feeding before this happen.And then ,they could care less.

I was also feeding very heavy to the Aussie Acans when I first got them a year ago. After 4 or 5 months, I lost a couple of my original pieces that were doing so well and growing. I never figured it out, but one thing I thought it could be was that I had started soaking the frozen food in lots of Garlic, Selcon, and other vitamins. I thought it might be that since the few pieces I lost were all ones I had for 3+ months are were growing well, so they were fed the most.
Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else thought too much Garlic might have hurt there corals.

Well the Interceptor seems to WORK!!!!!!! The rapid tissue recession/loss has come to a screeching HAULT over the past 24hrs. Granted I did do 3x the recomended dosage for my size tank it has worked out very well! I did throw in a cup of mag as well. It might be a little magical cocktail 
good luck everyone. The interceptor does seem to work.
