over the past few months I have had a large welsco open brain begin to slowly peel from its skeleton and no matter what I did I could not reveres or stop the tissue recession, recently it completely let go of its skeleton. The part that is worrying me is now 2 other corals have begun to recede too, a wall hammer and a scoly. all my parameters are stable and other than these corals all others are growing and happy the only change I have made is switching to led lights but as soon as I thought they might be causing this problem I dimmed them way down and switched back to mostly t5's dose anyone have any ideas as to why this is happening?
 
I feed them periodically and I got fed up with crabs/snail nocking corals over so the only inverts I have left are a circle star and a cucumber
 
What parameters are you testing for, with what brand of kit?
 
I know couple people when they switched to leds some of them lost half their tanks mostly lps chalice coral they like low to medium light
 
my parameters are ph 8.1, alk 9dkh, salinity 1.026 specific gravity phosphate 0.06ppm, ammonia and nitrite are both 0 that is all I have tested regularly and my alk test is Elos all the others are hanna electronic lab grade tests.
