What hurts only frogspawn and Octospawn?

[jimfish98]

About two months ago I started seeing an issue with my frogspawn and octospawn. They can look good one day, the next day they jettison a head. They seem fine for a few days, then jettison another. I thought I was past it for a few weeks and then yesterday morning woke up to it impacting three more frags. I have pulled the frags and didn't see any pests on any of them. I went ahead and did a flatworm exit treatment and some did show up, but nothing of concerning number or size. What ever it is, it isn't impacting the hammers, torches, or other softies. Water tests thus far have come back within stable levels. I have sent out an ICP and pending results. The only thing I can think of at this point is maybe a tang is trying to eat them over there color as it its not getting enough food as one was eating GSP polyps a few months ago. The only problem with that theory is most of the damage seems to be overnight when they are dormant. During the day I don't see them ever touch the corals.

Thoughts?

Probably put a camera on them to see the culprit. Could be a rogue clam or too much flow. Could be flatworms. Good luck
Pictures are always welcome

No changes in flow in a year at least, no clams, flatworms were treated for. Did treatments one week and again another week with few visible after the second treatment.
