    All are perfect. this system has a majority of SPS in it and they are all growing like weeds.
    I can tell that the phosphates are a bit high right now tho because my german blue polyp, pearlberry, and plum crazy have lost a bit of color and look "off"... but i know this is due to the TDS accident and things are slowly turning around for the SPS population

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    If you have the opportunity to move to another stable system I would. Sound like a slow demise for whatever mysterious reason.

    Parameters are stable, you have tried feeding it, no other coral is stinging it. You could try another placement in the current tank, but IME it takes awhile to see improvement in these types of LPS.

    As long as you're taking it out, you should dip it with a dip designed to help tissue damage. Coral RX is my favorite.

    Update: the system change was a very good idea... The scaly now eats multiple times a day and is actually on the recovery path now :)

    Be careful not to overfeed it. This can do more harm then good.;)
