    Maybe it is one of those cases where the only explanations is "s*** happens".

    Just throwing this out there: maybe there's a predatory bristleworm that got to it, injured it, and the injury caused it to die?

    Flesh has started to grow back on the plate. It also ate some cyclops last night. I take this as a good sign.

    The timing is odd though. Makes me wonder if it was related to dosing...

    I really think it was what I dosed with. My other LPS always look awful until 24 hours after I dose. Especially my open brains.

    Almost completely healed now. I was worried for a little bit.
