Euphyllia deflating

[45ZoaGarden]

the tank gets fresh air. In CO But it’s been warm so shouldn’t be an issue since weve Been able to keep the windows open. All of the euphyllia are officially dead. My biggest question is why only they died and every other coral in the tank looks great. Just doesn’t make sense

What are your water parameters? Pics. We need pics. You’ll never fully understand why they’re dying if you don’t know your water parameters

Had the same problem. All of my other corals (about 30 corals in all from sps, lps and soft) are growing like weeds with no issues, parameters are good. I had 5 euphyllias, 3 torches, 1 hammer and 1 frogspawn. All started off very strong for about 4 days. 2 Torches along with the hammer started slowly receding over the next 7 days until they all ultimately died. Fast forwad 5 months......the frogspawn is still doing extremely well and 1 torch is doing very well.....very strange. So I am left with 2 very healthy euphyllias, but afraid the same fate will 1 day happen to them, but not sure exactly what happened to the others. They were in the same area of the tank so lighting and flow were the same with them all. I am glad I am not the only one going through this euphyllia mystery. My assumption is my tank may have a parasite that attacks certain euphyllia. Scared to add any new euphyllia to the tank (tried twice and they died the same way) and maybe the 2 survivors (again extremely healthy) are immune to it and don't let that parasite kill them.....or the parasite don't like those 2 particular euphyllia.....??

Talked to the local reef Yoda, Cris Capp (check out his cameos on reef builders). He double checked my water and said that it was probably a bacterial issue because parameters were perfect. Not much you can do but step up the volume and frequency of water changes.
