Recently my frogspawn heads have been falling off alot. This has happened before but only one head once in a while but I never had this many heads die so quikly.
My parameters are
PH 8.2
Nitrate 3
Phosphate 0.05
Alk 7.5
Cal 450
Mag 2000 (I riased it this high to combat bryopsis.)

IS it high mag that is killing the heads?

From what ive seen with euphyllia and water chemistry issues, theyll usually drop heads when mag is really high or very very low. Also when p04 is very high they tend to drop heads.
 
Your magnesium is absolutely too high
This method of attacking bryopsis is becoming a thing of the past unless a person gets lucky to find an old product.
TechM changed their product compound several years ago and it is no longer effective against bryopsis.
At the level you are at you run a high risk of inverts dieing off.
