INTERESTING OBSERVATION (Rough Frag Trip Possible Explaination) All Same Frag Source

I just noticed this when I reviewed my History.

Thing were going well till I got confidence to get more Frags.

I was frustrated as things were deteriorating, so didn't notice the fact that All/Majority of the Frags that gave me problems over the last while were from the Same Supplier.

All original Frags, and a couple I got elsewhere are dong fine, or So-So.

Long shot, but it may be the Frag Supplier has different Water Parameters and the transition to my Tank was some kind of shock.

I did not acclimatize the corals, and I never have. I also did not Dip Them (I stopped dipping recently).

I accept the Red Dragon going since I've never been able to keep one.
I could see the Pink Cadillac going since it was tiny and maybe hard to keep.
The Gomezi should have been fairly hardy.
But two Sunset Acros purchased separately from same supplier seems kind of a coincidence.

In general they all bleached pretty fast considering my tank Water Parameter are very stable.
They bleached faster then I've every had a Frag Bleach. Usually my Frags have slow deaths.

I will talk to Supplier and see if other purchasers had similar issue.
