SPS issues... again.
I'm boggled. Every frag of SPS in my frag tank is doing great. Polyp extension like I've never had before. Colors could be better, but considering what I'm using for lights, no surprise. In my display however... SPS are dying like crazy. I've made 2 changes that I wonder about, but if you have any suggestions, please chime in. first, I switched from t5 to led. Switch was about 2 months ago... I think. They are tried and tested sols... Can't see this being the issue. Also, I now have a flag fin angel. I don't think he's been a problem, but I'm only watching the tank for so long each day. Any ideas? The 2 tanks are in the same system/water, so I can't see how it would be a chemistry issue, but who knows? Everything else in the display is doing great. Lps, zoas/palys, clams, etc... Just the SPS that seem to be mad.

Maybe basic questions but..... Are you using RO, RO/DI, tap?.....do you know what the TDS of the water you are using is?.... Have you tested the water for phosphates? .... Nitrates?..... Any leathers in the tank..... And I know you said you've never seen your angel nipping, but that doesn't mean that it isn't happening
 .... It seems that fish somehow know when you are watching and put their halos on

What intensity (%) do you have the LED's at? I am not familiar personally with them but my understanding is people dial them back initially and some have burned up their coral when having them on full intensity.
