Hey y’all, I’ve noticed a few times people mention this and what the cure/issue was for them. Seeing dry skin and losing zooxanthellae on green slimer, ultimate blue stag, and a couple others.

Curious if folks have a pinpointed issue causing this.
Established SPS keeper here, I can follow up with params etc.
