Polyps Problems

[SquishyFishy]

First I had to 86 my Xenia, couple months later the red hair algae decimated my neon cloves....now my original green star polyps, which were one of the first things I bought for the tank and looked like a grove of sweet flowers waving at me every day...are now reduced to a dried up rock of 4 or 5 heads that are just hanging on.

 

My params are just right, what am I doing wrong? Or is there just a life span I don't know about. The only thing I don't test is Calc/Alk/phosphates, and my new skimmer comes in a few days...I do 7 to 10 day water changes -3 gallons in my Nuvo 16. The RBTA loves it in there, everything else is thriving,.. zoas have tripled in the past 4 months. No fish problems. I even change out the floss every 4 or 5 days and run Chemipure/blue. Is it too clean....and I've given up on coralline, it just won't grow on the rock.

 

Any ideas on why all these softies are crappin out on me?

 

BTW, have everything to make a Kalk dripper just haven't had time to put it together.

What are your NO3 and PO4 readings?

 

Are there any other soft coral in the tank besides what's listed? Any goniopora or alveopora?

 

Sounds like a chemical problem. I've had this happen when I kept kenya trees and xenia in the same tank. They basically went into full chemical warfare mode and attacked each other from across the tank. I removed the xenia and everything went back to normal.
