I dont know what happening. All my soft corals are looking all nasty. But all my sps , mushrooms and Ricordea are doing great. in full bloom. I did a 25% water change and that didnt change anything. But there is like couple of softies that are ok. I dont see anything eating them. please help dont want to lose anything.

if by softies you mean leather corals, you may want to start running some carbon, because if they are stressed, they will release toxins into the water that your sps wont like. the carbon will help. they may be fighting chemically with each other - i have read of that happening.

I run carbon. And the softies Im talking about is pulsing zenas, kena tree and colt coral. Ill see about doing more carbon. But the only leather I have is toadstool. which is all smush up.

kena tree and colt coral.

these are types of leather corals and can produce toxins as well if i am not mistaken.

Double check your temperature. Look for stray voltage?

When my kenya tree looks like its dying or shriveled up its usually cause its breaking off branches, somtimes it can last for up to a week or less for it to come back to bloom. Same for the xenia it stays shrunken.
