Hi, so I came back after a 10 days trip, and not sure why some of my euphilias are disintegrating, also I did see some blastos were losing the flash from the skeleton. Not sure why.
The water parameters are like this: 4.12.2023
Alk: 8,34
CA: 440
MG: 1434
Nitrates: 10
Phosphate: 0.184
I did not have the skimmer running for like 2 weeks while I was gone in my trip.
I do run Carbon and GFO.
Not sure what to do in this case.

ONLY EUPHILIAS started to have this issue for about 2 weeks. I was away for 10 days so did not see the progression.
I did dip twice, first dip I found and see some flatworms.
Here is before my first dip, flatworms on the hammer:
After the second dip, I see other euphilias start expelling the flesh and they were perfectly fine 2 days ago puffy and big. this is a week after I got back from my trip and I monitor everything.

Update 4.15.2023
I don't think the flatworms are the issue. The last dip did not really see flatworms and Now I got more euphilia losing flesh. Does anybody have any tips in what to do next? Should I just dose Cipro on my entire tank I got 2 1/2 pills of Cipro 250 mg. I am kinda desperate. I see my indo gold torch start developing the infection and 2 wall hammers already started to lose part of the flesh.

My current water parameters are 4.19.2023
Alk: 8.8
CA: 405
MG: 1409
Nitrates: 5-10
Phosphate: 0.2

Here are 2 new videos with new corals that are losing flesh:

Thank you!

Parameters look good. What are you dipping them in? I would try using the KFC dip. Lots of people seem to have good luck with it, especially if there is also some underlying bacterial infection. If you are seeing flatworms then I'd say that is likely your culprit.
