Help please! Acan and fungia slime?

[K626]

All was well yesterday. Got some new zoas in a shipment, that had been in a temp of way too high that we acclimated back to temp etc. We placed them in the sand on the plugs to get used to the tank. I fed the other corals mysis (fungia, ricordea, acan, duncan) all ate at least one and were fluffy and happy. Ph is a little low (7.6), but that's normal for morning. salinity at 1.025. I haven't had a chance to really run a big panel of tests, but everything other than the 1 acan and fungia are happy as clams right now. This is what they currently look like, and I'm wondering what the heck is going on. I did a 20% water change, as that's always my first go to. Anyone ever had this happen? You can see the red acan is totally fine. There's nothing near either of these that could sting it I don't think. Only irritant could be the shrimp (cleaner and 2 sexy) that I could see. It was a pretty big meal, could they have just eaten too much?

Bump.

No one? Am I over reacting? I removed the new zoa that I believe was causing some kind of issue. My frogspawn is also closed up tight. Ugh, alk around 170/180 per dip strip. It's not the most reliable but my dumb self spilled the red sea test. So it's better than nothing I suppose. My snails also seem unhappy, which is leading me to any ammonia spike conclusion. Will be doing another 20% wc in another hour or so.

2 20% water changes and not much changed. I guess I'll just wait it out and see what happens.

Hi some corals react to small changes and deflate some time’s while others seem to be well if your system is in good condition then they should recover always carry a towel and don’t panic!

Hopefully. There's no tissue necrosis, but the snails basically hitting pause and sulking made me feel like something was up. After a 40% water change, I'd hope I diluted whatever made them unhappy. Maybe they really did just eat too much and have food coma.

It would be totally normal for new adds to be very unhappy even in perfect water.
Changing the waters not going to help that.
If your chemistry is on point, place them in an appropriate light/flow area and leave them alone for at least 1 month.
No feeding, no touching, no change in light intensity or duration.

They were releasing something, probably ammonia, as they were most likely doa. Extended time in 100+ degree water will do that I'd assume. We removed the offending plugs, and did a no no, but necessary to save what we could. We did a huge water change. Snails, and corals that were looking sad are perking back up. Now it's just monitoring the effects of that sickly acan, fungia, and frogspawn. As those 3 and the snails were the ones decimated by whatever was in there. Even the goni wasn't really affected. My main concern wasn't even the corals this morning, it was the black storm clown fish in there. I didn't want Heifer to get sick. So, we'll see what happens. Fingers crossed.

Alright, this is the current situation. Lost a few snails, and possibly the frogspawn. Though there's still color in that nub, so I have hope. After our 100%, I tested everything last night. All tested within normal, salinity was a little low at 1.025 but nothing crazy. Hoping this fixed it, and the fungia comes all the way back to glory like the acan did.
