Melting of coral tissue can cause a spike if there's enough of it. NOrmally if it's just one or two then it's not a huge deal as you'll likely skim it out, but then again it also depends on your total volume and how well it can dilute the effect of coral die off. Coral die off is simply more organic waste decomposing in your tank.

I don't have any official CUC other than the two astreas (they only like algae), cleaner (who doesn't like leftovers, he just loves fresh meals from corals mouth!). The bristles do wonderful job but they just have enough to eat already. All the corals always have their tentacles out during day and night (I spoiled them).
The elegance melted so I am guessing that might have a play in this too. And I don't have any skimmer.
Funny thing is, the brownaporas are not affected yet. I can see the bonsai's polyps. Weird stuffs!
