Interesting. I find sps to be the toughest things I have ever had. I can lose xenia or zoanthids for no reason but those sps I have never seem to be affected by anything and they grow fast. I don't have a lot of flow and I feed a lot of coral food each day. hmmm... Nitrates and phosphates are at 0 though because of lots of micro-algae.
I had no idea sps could starve to death because they are photosynthetic.
Mine even grow new tissue as new when some part die from toutching another sps.
Mine seem to like the lower temperature I keep in my tank, at 76F.

This makes them pretty susceptable to pretty much anything and without the energy to fight it they collapse pretty quickly. RTN seems to be pretty common amoung ULN systems.
