 I would try a differnt LPS
HI,
I have had problems with true percula and , better luck with clarki, and my marrons are mean little buggers, Some LPS use the same suppliers due to discounts. I always feed spiralla to all my fish daily even when I feed fresh thawed myosis I have read more than one post that spirella may help the animals immune system.
Ask them to keep it for a couple weeks on layaway and you may see the problem is the supplier not you, if they won't hold it for you Run.....

ps if your tanks has a spec grav of 1.026 and your LPS stays at 1.023 and your ph is 8.4 and their ph is 8.2
thats a pretty drastic change and could cause shock, fish are tuff but they hate change.
and remember your spec grav device can be off by as much as 4 points check it againts the LPS when mine reads 1.025 it really 1.023 on my 50 buck one.
If your lps keeps fish at 72 and your tanks 82.. there's so many things that can shock fish. my local lps started using chillers on some tank, ( which can slow down that ick cycle and other nasties low temp seems to help some corals ) then you take them home warm them up and they crap out..
