Perhaps stirring up all the detritus lowered your pH dramatically and then the die-off dropped it even further? I have been reading a bit about Ocean Acidification http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean_acidification and SPS really do not like lowered pH, 8.1 pH seems to be the limit.

Sadly, seems to be happening more these days, with very experienced aquarists.

Myself included but thats another story.
