What are your nitrates and phosphates (if you have a test kit) at? And how do you export them? (water changes, chaeto?)
Do you use RODI?
Do you use a protein skimmer?
How often do you feed?

Did you find a solution? I have a outbreak of it right now as well. Hoping I can get rid of it without chemicals or introducing emerald crabs. Emerald crabs helped eliminate them in my tank once.. However, the crabs killed 2-3 of my fish as well
