This thread reads like a veritable boogie-man list of reefkeeping!
Flatworms, redbugs, nitrate, phosphates, light, chemical coral warfare, coral nipping fish, parasites, alkalinity, PH, water clarity, carbon, GFO, stray current, broken heaters, bad power strips, inappropriate lighting, water flow...
Nearly all boogey men accounted for. Someone should implicate UV. Then Chip can rush in to the defense of UV. Oh, and ammonia, nitrites, and copper. And cats peeing in the water. That one'll get ya every time. Oh, scratch that, I already mentioned ammonia.
In my opinion, we don't really understand it well. (thus all the suggestions...)
