randomly losing euphyllia all of a sudden. Many other coral lps/sps all doing fine but my euphyllia seem to be going 1x1... any ideas?!? Regular water changes, nothing nipping them... heads seem to shrink down almost closed and then appear to melt. Luckily the more expensive pieces are hanging on for now but i fear the worst
 
Give us your complete water parameters. Lighting and lighting schedule and what is used for flow.

Thanks

What size of tank?
(Regarding your flow vs. Those gyres and placement).
Rodi water?

What does 0 across the board mean? If nutrients, then that's not good, you will need some.
Whats your ALK?
Salinity is low for corals, are you using a refractometer?

Brown jelly?
 
Salinity is low and nutrients low.. also check for parasites... I had a torch slowly close up for a long time eventually found slug-like nudibranch looking things eating it.
 
I dont know muh abt brown jelly but 2nd oerson that suggested it. my salinty is def low. My ato dumped 15g of Ro into my sump. I thought i had ut back to abt 1.024. Will have to try to get it back up tmrw. Nutrients reading low on api but guaranteed they are not all zero. 300'gal gyre top on one side, middle on ither side. Have great flow throughout tank. Tank loaded w coral, only thing ive lost is euphyllia. And no hammers so far, just octo & torch... is there any way to counteract "brown jelly" ?
 
I havent seen anythg on the corals, justlook to close up and then gone in a hurry...
