Are the orange colored Euphyllia more delicate than say the green colored version? Reason I ask is that in my 7 years of reefing I've always had success with the traditional green variants, but the orange versions do not like me/my tank.
Talking orange torch and frogspawn. They are good for a month then slowly recede. I've tried multiple placements even directly beside other types of euphyllia but no luck.
I did notice this starting when I started dosing MG to raise it. MG always ran at 1100ish and decided to raise it with 1 cup of Mag (Sulfate I believe, crystal type) every two days and retest.
Params -
Ca - 400
Alk - 8.7
MG - 1300
SG - 1.025
Recent changes or things to be considered-
1. Ongoing brown slime on rock due to bacteria. I've taken off my BP reactor and started running carbon full time. I've been changing 35g each week of water while scrubbing the rocks to get rid of this outbreak.
2. Started dosing CA/ALK on dosing pumps. Started slow at 25ml a day.
