Hi I'm posting on behalf of someone.They don't have test kits,but I hope to test their water soon.Over the weekend they started losing corals in particular LPS,from what I understand most hammers,brains candycane have all lost their tissue,while the soft/leather corals are ok as are all fish ,clams shrimp etc..Any suggestions would be appreciated.As of now I'm leaning towards low Alk
Thanks

do they use any kinds of nutrient reducer?
what about lights, what do they have?
Do they have air conditioning? If their place got really warm with the weather it could have melted some lps. It's happened to me before unfortunately.
Magnesium and Alk i think would be the main 2 to check. i was having issues with polyp extensions due to low Magnesium.
You can also try a lower flow area or target feeding the coral.
My tank went up to 85.4f recently and i have over 40 acans in my tank. no issues.

...you got lucky...
My acans don't seem to mind heat as much either, but I've found euphyllia aren't so forgiving....
