No3 is 5
I Dont have any phosphate tests and am leaving for 5 days tomorrow
 
Eveything else looks fine scollys and acans nice and fat. Ive been feedng reef roids and lps pellets
 
Looks like my red goni is starting to look a little stressed too. i just put a new pink next to the red and green. Is it possible that the pink stung the others?
 
Had similar issues that looked just like that, this is what I did; with a very soft (baby) toothbrush clean the surface brushing gently in one direction to avoid more damage, dip in Seachem Reef Dip, assuming everything else is ok; flow, lighting, etc. then check your Iodine. If using a Red Sea test keep levels at .06-.09. I dosed Seachem Iodide. The first picture was on 2/20/2020, the last 2 just now to show the progress. Hope it helps.

This happened the night before i was leaving for 5 days away so I couldn't risk leaving the green in the tank. unfortunately I had to throw it out... Such a shame it was a nice big colony.
I moved the red before I left and crossed my fingers, returned last night and it seems to be doing well.
Thanks for the replies, i think the pink goni was the culprit.
