Over the last week or so, I have noticed my sand dollar monti burning around the edges... I didn't think much of it. Then today after I fed, I noticed my superman monti and sunset monti were both burnt looking randomly across the coral. The sunset seems to have burnt looking bumps (about 10 or so little spots) and the superman monti looks like it was stung randomly across 50% of it's body.
At first I thought it was a alk issue but tested and alk is at 7 which is way on the low side, but I can't imagine it would cause this... calc is just over 400...
Only other think I can think of is I have been fighting a hair algea issue for months and finally got fed up. I started dosing "Algaefix" as recommended once every 3 days as well as running a phosphate reactor which I just changed the media and optimized it a little... I am thinking maybe I am taking the phosphates out too fast and it is shocking the coral? maybe? That is the only thing I can think of...
Any other ideas? This literally happened in like hours... maybe overnight, not sure when the last time I looked at them was...
