In the last week, several heads on my frogspawn corals have been falling off. They showed no signs of being unhealthy before this, and the heads are just sitting there in the sand bed, still plump and extended. I have two batches in two different areas of tank and it is happening to both. No other coral or organisms seem to be affected. All my parameters seem pretty normal. The magnesium looks a bit low, I am supplementing that now. Any other ideas? I'm pretty upset as these guys have grown with the tank from a little bud for 3 years now.
