    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.

    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.
