I recently have been having a lot of troubles with my tank, the levels have been consistent and near perfect. First it was the zoas getting the rare phenomenon "umbrella
affect". Now the problems have jumped ship to my sps. I have been getting blisters all over my sps and every sps is affected. It is as if they are swelling and ballooning up. About twenty sps frags have been affected over the course of two days. There was no change in flow, temp, lighting, or any other levels in the tank.

I have done hours of research and have always come back to the same resolution that no one truly knows why this happens to sps. If anyone would mind to chime in with their experience on this topic it would be alot of help!

Here are some pictures of some examples from my tank.

Any updates on frags? Recently having the same issue in two encrusting montis. Only change in my system was bumping the kH litte bit (like 2 dKH up). ;Meh
 
#necrothread, but I believe this is hyperplasia, and IIRC the cause was an uneven dosing of 2 part.
