    Yesterday my Purple Plasma RTN's, today my acro colony with my acro crab began to rtn, and my gold maxima clam died. Only corals in my tank to do thats, and the only thing in common was they all came from my LFS. In fact thinking about it JUST now, everything from there has RTN'd at some point.....

    Yeah i'm not surprised, I had a minicrash in my fuge that let the P&N levels come up a bit, and changed my flow pattern with a water change that I hardly ever perform. Something had to go wrong. Should be smooth sailing now though, and all my frags look great.

    Sounds like you need to avoid coral from your LFS.

    i dunno, the colony had been in my tank for quite a while almost 2 months, and the other clam is doing great. I suppose you are right though, im gonna hold off on new stuff for a few months. Also I think my new blue spotted shrimp goby ate my rainfordi goby. That jerk!

    sad reading Alex

    hopefully thats the end of the problem corals
    might have been a system issue in the LFS, hard to know for sure
