    That sounds like you have something eating on them to me if you have ruled out water quality issues.

    My duncans were extremely sensitive to water quality, and they are captive grown as well.

    It happened to mine to but after a few days it came back...I also use purple up about two caps a day for my 90 gallon. Turns water milky for a little while but the corals seem to like it

    From the bubbles I see on your glass and rock it looks like you have some Cyano or dino in there. Try gently blowing the corals off with a turkey baster.
