Hi Guys, I really need your help please, I have a few scolys that are dropping like flys, something is going on in my tank, it’s 7 months old right now and I started noticing the issue around Mid December 2019 with my Double head scoly of the tissue receding and a gaping mouth, over a few weeks the coral got worse over time, mouth continued to gap and tissue just kept on receding, funny thing is that it took very long actually for the tissue to reced, I did low light low flow multiple dips and unfortunately 4 months later the coral died , fast track to 2 weeks ago my Superman scoly I noticed was a bit funny and kept his mouth open, the next morning it started receding and FAST!!, I again moved it to low flow low light area and multiple dips but not making any difference, at the same time I noticed my master scoly was doing the same, however the master started to reced in weird way, by the tissue along the outer rim on the skeleton started peeling off and kinda making holes, so I called a fellow reefer to help me out and take the scolys and put it in his QT tank, no improvement in his tank on both the Superman and master scoly. On Saturday I noticed my war paint isn’t to happy, it started to reced in chunks and the again burning holes, what’s interest is there are white squiggly stringy poop almost coming out of the area of wounds, kinda like how people say my clown fish pooped white strings, i dipped the coral and put it back into my display but the next day more receding and more white squiggly stringy poop, so I found this article and decided I am going to give it a shot, I set up a small QT 15l or 5 gallons with a hang on the back filter with bio balls from my main display, FYI I found a dead copepod in my media bag however it was red, it went down the sink before I could take a pic of it, I put in an egg crate and heater, display tank water was added to the QT, I found a article on Ultimate reef about a potential LPS disease, it talks about adding Milbemax dewormer which has a Milbemycin interceptor as well as praziquantel, essentially it kills parasites, please see the link
https://www.ultimatereef.net/threads/potential-new-lps-disease.677915/page-6 . I put 1/12 of the Milbemax for dogs, the big tablet and dissolved it in a little tank water, I added the scoly in and now me typing this is about 18 hours later, the receding is still happening on my war paint, my fellow reefer has also purchased the meds and added it to his tank and has said the scolys are still getting worse, I don’t know what else to do, I have over 13 scolys and this is the 5th on going through the same thing, all my other corals, euphyllia, acans, GSP, Chalice, clam, Monte etc are all doing good. My water parameters are 9.5dkh, 425 cal, 1410mag, 2ppm nitrate, 0.04phosphate. My feeding is target feeding reef roids twice a week and it phytogold twice a week. I beg of you all to please can someone help me out, I am destroyed from all of this.
