What causes a frag of German Blue polyp digi sps to look good yesterday and today it looks like it is completely covered in a white film and dead? Everything thing else in tank looks fine. I even have a bigger frag of the same German blue polyp digitata that looks great. No big deal bc it was the tip of my other one that I broke off when I first got it but would like to no what happened.

first pic is the dying frag and 2nd pic is the other one I have. This time yesterday they both looked like the 2nd pic.
 
125 gallon with 30 sump.
Sal-1.025, alk- 9.5, cal-450, mag 1350, nitrates-2, phos-0.02.. I run kalk and vinegar in ato and dose 25ml of 2 part daily with jebao doser. This is the only coral not doing good. It’s a mixed reef!

as you can see in pic I have quite a bit of stuff in there. Weird!

And this frag is on the white square plu you see in the center of the photo.
 
just a thought,maybe flat worms?those suckers are good at camouflage when not a total infestation.maybe try dipping one and see what comes off.doesn't look like it would hurt at this point.
 
That Hydnophora next to it is stinging it.

I have had one like that for a long time....it ate a two-polyp favia frag overnight once. (Didn't repeat THAT mistake.)

A little stronger flow around them might help, but separating them always works. :)
 
(Even my ID is wrong on the other coral, same diagnosis....I know there are some other corals that look similar.)
