SPS infections?

[Yanir34]

Hello reefers !
I'm setting up new SPS dominate tank , and sperate quarantine tank.

a lot of reefees in my country is suffering from unknown mysterious coral disease, that simply eats the corals in their tank especially SPS corals.

I know that there is product that called "Blue life coral RX" that should prevent coral bacterial infections.
Anyone here have experience with this product?

From your description is sounds like your fellow reefers in your area are dealing with some sort of pests not a bacterial infection. If the corals are getting eaten I would look for some sort of bugs or acro eating flat worms. Coral RX is a dip that can help prevent the transfer of pests when introducing them in to your tanks, but it may not target everything. I would recommend they inspect their corals very closely to try to determine what it the cause of the issues and so that a proper solution can be found.

Most of them are running quarantine tanks , and know how to do dip for new corals, identify different types of pests and how to deal with them.
I am talking about other issue ,not pests.

It is not even STN , and starts mysteriously when they introduced new corals that been in quarantine for almost 3 months.

The way that those coral bleached and died , is not the typical way , like bleach due to AEFW or other pests.

Where are you? And they add a QT coral in their DT and this newly added coral which was fine showing no pathogen wipes out the rest of the tank? And this happens in how long?

That sounds like a light or water quality issue. Ive had more than one coral die like that. Either that or too much or too little light.
