Any idea what could be causing this sps to die all od the white that you see has happened in the last 48 hours

will need to know your tank parameters, lighting etc.. Also is that a aiptasia i see next to your pallys/zoas?

Also anything that you have recently changed.

I would say either possible alk swing or phosphates are too high? Just a guess though..do you have a hanna checker for P?

 

[dmStewy]

yes that is Aptasia

those brain corals you have surrounding the colony might have gotten to it with their sweeper tentacles. happened to my green porcillopora except it got stung by my hammer coral. it was 3 inches away too. one night, i saw the hammer's sweeper tentacles all over the bottom half of my colony. next day, it looked like yours, but it got rtn. now i only have a small frag thats less then 1/2 inch. -_- gl with yours.

IMO, it looks like your K4 is blasting that coral and the rtn seems to trail the path of the flow.

With the water flow that comes out of a Koralia I would say this coral gets blasted by at least one of these two powerheads. :eek1:
