The right conditions usually follow an aggressive algae removal remedy - overuse of phosphate removers, aggressive carbon dosing, using chemical algae removers, etc...
These kill the natural algae and biofauna that a healthy reef tank needs and exposes the ecosystem to a dino plague that becomes entrenched until the natural conditions can regain a foothold.
Artificial systems like our reef tanks are really starved for diversity, so once a single creature takes over, balance becomes difficult to regain.
I guess I'd compare it to a yo-yo dieter who can't seem to get long term good results.
