I've had this guy for over three years now.....so long in fact that I've forgotten what the name/species it is. I lost a head about 3 months ago and then another the next month. Now they're going fast and I'm not sure what's wrong. Other corals are fine, did a water change a few days ago and planning another soon. Parameters seem fine but I haven't had time to test everything. Seneye says PH and temp are good. Any ideas? torch.jpg

Euphyllia can be sensitive to calcium and magnesium swings. You changed salt mix or started/stopped dosing something lately?

I think some people have had good results with pulling and dipping the living heads as well as fragging them to separate the colony. I think it was iodine dips people have been having luck with. Might be worth it to search for brown jelly and try what has worked for people fighting that.

I year or two ago, I lost about 30% of my LPS for no rhyme or reason after having never lost a head in about 10 years. Then it stop for no rhyme or reason and they all regrew new heads and are happy and healthy today. I think it was vibrio bacteria getting a foothold then doing damage before the corals recovered and strengthen up.
