The addition of the corals shouldn't affect anything. Did you check your water parameters just to see if anything was "off"?
In the beginning of the hobby for me, I lost a purple firefish, a small clownfish and a bicolor blenny. I was using Nutri-sea Water for my water changes, which is water that is already premixed. Anyway, I trusted what the label said, that the Specific Gravity was 1.027. After those fish died, I checked all my parameters, and included the Specific Gravity. It broke my heart when I discovered that the SG was 1.032 in my tank which was too high for those poor little fish to acclimate to when they were coming from my LFS, whose SG was 1.024, so they died from the shock. Now, I check everything before and after I add things "just to make sure" because it always sucks to lose something. I lost my fairy wrasse Thursday and still have no clue what happened to him.
My sympathies to you...
On a positive note, your corals look great and I absolutely LOVE those feather dusters!~
i took a sample to 2 LFS and they said my water parameters were fine normal ranges. they said it may have eaten something in the tank that made it sick? but yeah thanks.
i think ill wait a while to get a new fish
