  4. Coral mortalities?

    Is it normal for corals to all of a sudden die for no reason seemingly? I just lost a frogspawn and a couple of mushroom corals and cant figure out why. Salinity normal, 0 ammonia,nitrate .5 phosphate, 440 ca ,ph 7.8.8.0 All the other fish and corals look great. Seems to be a lot of little red
    flakes everywhere...could they be flatworms and could they be the cause? Thanks Kitch40
