In regards to creepy teeth... when I moved my fish from holding tub to the tank, i had the female clown jump out of the net and landed on her face.... she had split the entire face down the middle showing some really creepy teeth... I though she would die for sure, however a year later and she lays eggs every two weeks and scar is 98% healed, can only see a little bit of the scar...
I beleive the majority of my issues was high alk, 156 ppm (8.7 dkh) so i slowed the calcium reactor down for a few days and let it drop to 125 ppm (7 dkh). With my leds at 40%, some acros did not like the high light/high alk combo...

I also gave the majority of my coral a dip in coral rx (kills those blue buggish bugs, but not the red eggs, not sure if they hatch after??)

Followed by a 1.5x dose of Flatworm Exit with a 20 gallon water change and a carbon change.

I realized that sometimes, especially with lps it is best to know when to fold em. A large gonipora I was really cheering for, was continually loosing little bits of flesh which i watched land on sps colonies and find burns and damage later... lesson learned
