I bought 2 hammers about 4 weeks ago, local LFS, very good, plenty of buys before no issues. New purchase might be coincidence - but timing seems to align with issues so mentioning it. Both placed on same 'island' rock at one end of tank. Settled in fine, opening fully, etc. After 3 weeks one looked unhappy. Then overnight nearly dead, only a few bits of live tissue hanging off. No sign of brown jelly, took it out, couldn't see any flatworms. Dipped to see if anything came off, nothing did. 3 days ago a frogspawn (fairly close in tank) was unhappy. It was something I fragged 2 years ago, had 7 heads, very healthy. I dipped just in case - couldn't see anything. Yesterday dead.
Came down this morning, another frogspawn 80% gone. This one opposite side of the tank (and in a frogspawn garden!) - again been in tank 2 years.
Params: did icp test last week, all ok (and have been stable for a while). Iodine was low, so dosed, but don't believe that would cause this.
If its not brown jelly, or flatworms, is there something else I should be looking out for? My gut says this isn't params, but some other cause. 3 years into reefing, so have dealt with other things. I know it requires patience. But my tank is mostly euphillya - so I'm more than a little stressed....! Any ideas on causes / actions to take?
