Actually, you're missing a vital piece of equipment; a Quarantine Tank. Make sure that you place them in QT first. It sounds like they are getting breakouts of Brooklynella.

Knocking on wood, I don't know a lot about disease, but my GBMaroon about killed herself. She was large enough that she overcame the toxins. Not sure if it was a good thing or not, she ended up killing the coral.
