Found 2 flames (hawk+angel) dead last night. Everything else seems ok. What was strange is that both fish were covered with a thick whitish slime. When I picked them up they 'fell apart'. What could have gone wrong?

Tank: 72G bowfront
Canister filter + dual (PO4+Carbon) reactor
Several Corals (LPS, softies, zoanthids)
Several other fish: maculosis angel (4"), red coris Wrasse, 3 anthias, ...

Tank Parameters
pH low (7.9) ...
NH4 < 0.25 ppm
SG 1.025

I'm totally clueless ... I've lost fish before but never found them with thick whitish coat. Could they have fought to death? Both are of similar size and shape, one is a swimmer (angel) other is a hopper (hawk).

Any clue?

Have you added anything lately?
It kinda sounds like Brooklynella hostilis
