Torch dying off Any suggestions on this. Water parameters are solid and stable. This coral looked great yesterday morning, yesterday evening looked as if it was a deflated balloon, this is the coral this morning and this evening the head had detached. This has happened to a number of my LPS corals (hammer, trumpet, duncans). They were all doing great, growing well and then all of a sudden the heads start dropping off. This particular coral had been in the tank for about 6 months and had looked great up until yesterday. added 5 years

changed calcium dosing - cut in half to 10 minutes from 20 minutes 11 times per day. Found out my calcium test kit was reading very low and my calcium was close to 500

Dosing change. Increased alkalinity dosing by 50 per day and dosing between 1 am and 11 am. Calcium dosing no change to level but dosing between 1 pm and 11 pm.
