Wilting/Dying Xenia. Odd?

[MichaelReefer]

Well, I guess to start I picked up some Xenia a few months back and it was growing amazingly. All of a sudden very rapidly I noticed about half of it seemed to wilt away and die or contract? Now it's down to just a few stems that are still open and the rest seems dead. The odd thing is everything in my tank from Anemones, Duncans, Torches, Goniopora, and all of the livestock are all open, happy and growing (better than they ever have been). Has anyone experienced anything like this with Xenia before? I have read in a few places that Iodine could be the culprit? That it may not have enough?

I keep iodide/iodate in the 0.03-0.06 range, for my softies, gorgonians and shrimp.
Also, just check to make sure your N (2-10ppm) and P (0.03-.15ppm) are showing in these trace levels.
Xenia has no problem with a higher nutrient tank.
Anemone, torches and Duncan’s are all aggressive, make sure, nobody too close.

Yeah, all my numbers are good. It was so rapid and out of the blue. And yeah none of my aggressive coral are near it.

Xenia (and GSP) is almost impossible to kill so somethings up for sure.

Could it of been Iodine? I dont have a test for it.
