Dying Sps kill other sps ?

[ourcoralreef]

I recently had a big sps colony die and it wiped out a bunch of my sps encrusted frags

Im thinking its related i broke off one of the frags that was starting to die and its fine

i also made a channel in the rock encrusted part between dying sps and living tissue the living side is still alive the dying side totally bleached out

im thinking dying sps kills other sps

I have had an sps form a bubble substance over it and then the sps totally stn'd. When i removed coral. Anywhere that bubble substance touched other sps. It caused them to stn. Didnt bother montipora

My styloC rtn'd last week, it stn'd a Monti cap that was right next to it. Lucky I fraged the cap so I will replace it back where it was.
My inkbird went haywire and caused a high temp swing. Those were the only 2 affected

I have had montis die over 4 months from just fragging one of mine (although I had a alk spike one day). I think the corals got weakened and eventually succumbed to some bacteria or virus.

This happened to me just 2 week ago. ORA delicate and ora red planet were touching. The Delicate rtn'd in a day out of nowhere. And I think a bacteria or something spread to my red planet colony as well. I immediately fragged my red planet into 6 nice sized frags and dipped in Revive. 2 out of the 6 are still alive. Im hoping the last 2 will make it since it's been about 2 weeks. I had a slight alk spike. From 6 to 7.5 over 2 weeks prior to the rtn. I am very confident I have no pests. I blame it on the change

yes i buy into the theory the stn/rtn colony releases something into the water that triggers other colonies to die off also.

Blue hippo broke off a piece of my Oregon tort, it fell on my FrogSkin Acro and both died both died within 2 days. I thought/hoped they would grow together. Nope

I brought home and fragged an RTN
Colony From a Lfs. None of those frags lived and one of my weaker sps colonies in the tank also died a week later.
Worst rescue attempt I’ve made.

Its good to see that im not the only one
I mean its not a good problem but hopefully we can figure out how to fix this issue

How many of you run carbon i was running carbon and that didn’t help

Another weird thing i have noticed that if a coral was fragged and it or the mother died the frag or mother followed within a day or two

I was running carbon at the time. No help at all but it was not a fresh bag either.
