Will you post params please? Last time I took someone's word on normal params their Alk was WAY off. I do believe you though, 5 years in the hobby!

You dipped the coral you were most concerned about? Found no pest? No bugs crawling on them?

Is this affecting only acros/stags or are other coral showing signs of distress?

If not a pest, must be water related. How and what are you dosing? Perhaps a Triton test is in order?

Doesnt really look like AEFW bites looks kind of like stn. Did you make any changes to the system recently? Change the lighting or flow add any new equip?
